Mountain Navigation in Spain

Maps

The most popular map for mountain navigation in the Alicante and Valencia provinces has been the Mapa Topográfico Nacional de España in scale 1:25. 000. This map is based on the European 1950 UTM Datum grid reference system.

In 2010 two new topographic maps came on the market and these cover the Marina Baixa and Marina Alta areas. The scale is 1:20.000 and the maps unfold to 88 x 76 cm.
The detail is very good and includes hiking trails.

A list of book shops stocking them can be viewed at the distributors web site Terra Ferma.

For navigation by GPS your receiver will need to be set as below but you should run a local test in Spain before departing your accommodation for the mountains.

Position Format-UTM UPS. Map Datum-European 1950.

Warning, GPS satellite signals are constantly lost in the mountains so don’t rely on GPS alone. Mount your GPS receiver on your body and not in your rucksack!

When exploring new routes you should always carry a map and compass and plan your courses by marking them on the map. As you pass each planned course make sure that you take a back bearing of the original course. Back bearings are useful for when returning on the original route particularly in poor weather conditions.

Magnetic variation is normally stated on Spanish topographic maps but will need to be calculated for the current year if the map is an old edition. For 2020 the magnetic declination for Dénia was +0° 53’ so
adjust any course that you have calculated on your map. Remember that in the mountains there could also be some local magnetic deviation, just like at sea.
However, such small variations will have little effect on short routes.
Add this variation to any course that you have calculated on your map. Remember that in the mountains there could be some local magnetic deviation just like at sea.
However, such small variations will have little effect on short routes.

A compass in your rucksack should be kept away from any metallic objects to avoid weakening of the magnetic properties of the needle pointer. Also note that for reliable navigating in different hemispheres a global compass with a precision bearing is required.

Position locating by altitude is only accurate if you have calibrated your altimeter prior to the event. Remember that the atmospheric pressure which altimeters rely on changes during the day and decreases with altitude as you climb. GPS devices have a built in altimeter which is regularly updated by satellite so calibration prior to the event is useful but not so important.

Altitude reference is a useful tool for navigating. You can use the altitude reading in conjunction with a map to determine your nearest height contour line. Use contour lines to help locate your approximate position.

All position coordinates on this website are in decimal degrees for use on Google Maps. The coordinates can only provide mobile phone guidance when on public roads. Where off–road coordinates are shown you will need to either, find your own route to the indicated position or use a hiking app covering the area. Most of the off–road coordinates shown on my Routes pages can be reached quite easily by just following an obvious track.

Most of the well known mountain routes are marked by the local town Halls with white and yellow or white and green stripes. Some of these routes are sign posted and prefixed with PRV which stands for Pequeño Recorrido Valencia. GR stands for Gran Recorrido and marked with white over red stripes. GR routes are frequently seen in the Spanish Pyrenees. Routes marked with red, orange, green or any coloured spots are not official and are made by local hiking or climbing groups. These spots may be a useful guide for others but they could be leading you onto a scrambling, canyoning or rock climbing route, so be aware!

Cairns are constantly used for route marking and are visible over longer distances than paint spots. However, cairns become damaged by animals or weather which can leave you searching for the next one. Cairns could also be leading you on to an extreme mountain route or in a direction other than your intended route.

Measuring your distance is essential when in unfamiliar mountains, in poor visibility or at night. Pacing and timing your progress should be done by counting your steps on each section of your route plan. Practice measuring your step distance and remember it or mark it on your map or compass. If your average step is 0.8 metres and the next waypoint or change of course is 100 metres then you will need to pace out 125 steps. Remember that your step will vary so allow a tolerance of about 5%.

Thankfully we don’t receive much mountain mist or fog in the Costa Blanca area but be aware of the following conditions when it does occur.

Advection fog or Sea Fog is normally formed in coastal waters when the air is cooled below it’s dew point allowing water vapour to condense into fog. Mountains and cliffs such as Gelada, Oltá, Montgó and the Plana de San Jerónimo can be partially covered in the cold months. A change of wind direction bringing drier air will clear this type of fog.

Radiation fog is formed by land cooling at night and radiating it’s heat into space. If the air is cooled by land below it’s dew point then condensation occurs and if conditions are right, this will form fog. This type of fog normally occurs in the hotter months and will affect all mountainous areas but clears quickly as the sun rises and heats the land.

Low pressure weather cold fronts bringing in Cumulonimbus clouds can reduce visibility down to 10 metres in areas above 500 metres. The showers that normally accompany these cold fronts can leave you in dangerous conditions particularly on mountain summits.

Apart from the poor visibility and becoming disorientated there is the obvious danger of a fall on slippery rocks and a serious injury with very little chance of the rescue services locating your exact position.
These conditions normally occur in the cold months and taking local weather reports coupled with your own regular observation of the sky should keep you out of trouble.
Avoid all summits and ridges if these conditions are imminent.

Weather conditions in the Spanish Pyrenees are much more extreme and dangerous. Regular checks with online weather web sites is essential and making your descent by early afternoon is wise.

The distance you can see from summits in good visability.

Plana de San Jerónimo. 49 kilometres

Serra de Segária. 86 kilometres

Serra d’Oltá. 94 kilometres

Serra del Montgó. 106 Kilometres

Serra de Mondúver. 112 kilometres

El Puig Campana. 146 kilometres

The distance from the Marina de Dénia to the island of Ibiza is 117 kilometres and 239 kilometres to the island of Mallorca.

• Calpe;
• Javea;
• Albert;
• Villajoyosa.

Costa Blanca

Altea

This is a small place between Calpe and Benidorm. The population here is trying in every way to preserve the cultural heritage, so the tourist will not meet tall buildings. The beaches are pebbly, but due to this, the water seems even more transparent and clean.

Alicante

Capital of the province of the same name. It is here that the airport is located, so any tourist begins his acquaintance with this city. The wonderful climate, greenery, fine white sand, clear sea, impressive architecture and high level of service will make your holiday in Alicante perfect.

Benidorm

This resort is especially appreciated by lovers of nightlife. But families with children will not be bored here either – theme parks are waiting for young visitors. The mountain range protects the coast from the winds, which creates good conditions for a beach holiday. By the way, camps for children involved in football are being opened in Benidorm.

Javea

The resort town is located between Alicante and Valencia. There are many Gothic monasteries and churches on the streets of the city. But the resort is famous for its large port, where tourists are offered water activities for every taste.

Albert

Quiet and peaceful resort. The beaches are large pebbles.

Villajoyosa

Next door to bustling Benidorm is this small, quiet resort. Tourists especially note the freshest seafood here. A distinctive feature of this resort is the old part of the city, a monument under the protection of UNESCO, so you can escape from the sea with excursions around the town.

Majorera gastronomy: savor the traditional food of Fuerteventura

The typical food of Fuerteventura is a unique experience to enjoy the incredible Canarian gastronomy with that genuinely Majorero touch. It’s so particular flavors go back to the ancient Canarian settlers, who made intense elaborations through their native raw material, cereals, fish and milk and goat meat.

This island in the Canary archipelago mixes the best nuances of land and sea in its recipes. So, don’t miss the opportunity to delight your senses with typical Fuerteventura food, whether you are traveling to the southern tip of Fuerteventura in Morro Jable, visiting the capital of Puerto del Rosario or in Corralejo.

What are the typical dishes of Fuerteventura?

Eating is a pleasure that should not be missed, much less if you are traveling to a dream island like Fuerteventura. Its gastronomy is elaborated to please all palates through its compositions of land and sea, as diverse as its monuments and natural landscapes.

You should not miss trying all the typical food of Fuerteventura that we are going to present to you.

≈ Goat meat

Inside the island you will find the famous Majorera goats, which have become a symbol for locals and visitors. For this reason, within the most typical dishes of Fuerteventura there are many recipes with this animal, which has a very tasty and tender meat on the palate.

If you are a lover of a good stew, we invite you to try the Majorero stew made with goat meat and vegetables. It can also be prepared in stew or fried.

≈ El Gofio

This food is very present in the typical food of Fuerteventura and has its origins in the first settlers of the archipelago. Gofio is a type of roasted corn flour very nutritious, which can be eaten alone, kneaded, or combined with other foods such as milk or in dessert preparations.

If you want to try another alternative to part of those already mentioned, we suggest you taste a blanched gofio. The particularity of this dish is that the toasted corn flour is mixed with fish broth, which is then stirred to obtain a kind of puree.

≈ Frangollo

Who doesn’t like a good dessert? When the time comes to try a typical Majorero sweet, the Frangollo will not disappoint.

This dessert is made with majorera goat milk or water depending on the variant in the recipe, mixed with sugar, gofio, almonds and raisins with a touch of cinnamon, lemon and voila, that’s how a typical recipe of Canarian frangollo is made.

≈ Limpets

Just as the goat is one of the most common animals within the typical Fuerteventura food, seafood is no less within the island’s gastronomy. In the various municipalities that make up Fuerteventura, there is no shortage of squid, prawn and limpet dishes.

Limpets are a species of gastropod mollusks, which are embedded in the stones of the sea. Various delicious dishes are made with these mollusks, but the most common is accompanied in its preparation by a typical Fuerteventura sauce: mojo picón.

Contact us here

≈ Mojo

The Majoreros accompany many of their dishes with mojo, which has two variations: one is made with red pepper, called mojo picón, and the other green, made with parsley and / or coriander. The other ingredients are garlic, olive oil, and salt.

The mojo will delight those who love intense and spicy sauces.

≈ Typical fish of Fuerteventura

In the Majorera gastronomy, the fish from its coasts becomes the protagonist. In all the local restaurants in Fuerteventura you will find menus where the main ingredient is fish. The most prominent fishes are cherne, gilthead sea bream, corvina fish or sea bass fish.

So, if you want to taste an exquisite dish of sea bass or bream, or better a grilled cherne, it will not be a problem since you will be able to find countless alternatives where fish will be the protagonist.  

There are even more “exotic” dishes such as moray meat (muraenidae) in case you fancy something different during your vacation on the island.

≈ Wrinkled potatoes with or without mojo

In any restaurant serving typical food in Fuerteventura you will find delicious wrinkled potatoes, as this dish is one of the most famous delicacies on the island.

With or without mojo? The answer depends on you and your tastes, but if you want to enjoy the true Majorero flavor, be sure to ask for some wrinkled potatoes with a good mojo picón.

≈ Majorero cheese

Made with goat’s milk, majorero cheese is one of the most unique typical products of Fuerteventura due to its unique flavor in the world.

For this reason, Majorero cheese is a symbol of Canarian gastronomy and has been awarded in more than one national and international competition.

Flavors of Fuerteventura – Spanish Sabores

Lovely Fuerteventura is home to more than just pretty sights.

If you’d asked me two weeks ago to tell you about the typical foods of Fuerteventura, I wouldn’t have known where to begin. Small, sweet bananas rang a bell, and I knew that the slightly spicy mojo picón sauce was definitely from the Canary Islands. I figured that, being an island, fish would be a big source of nutrition but I had no idea which ones.

After only 48 hours in Fuerteventura I am far from an expert on Canarian cuisine, but I can tell you about the different Canarian specialties that I was able to try. Apart from my own research and restaurant hunting, we had an advantage as guests of the Hotel Elba Palace Golf. We were sampling their Gourmet & Volcanic Break, which includes wine tasting, cheese tasting, and an entire day trip dedicated to “The Flavors of Fuerteventura”. While I’m not generally one for organized excursions, this was a fantastic way to see a large part of the island in only a day, while not having to worry about driving up and down mountains. We also got to meet some very interesting local food producers and try some great local Fuerteventura food products!

Here are my Fuerteventura food highlights:

Fresh Produce

Fuerteventura and the rest of the Canary Islands grow some interesting produce that isn’t very common on the mainland. Apart from their excellent tomatoes, the island’s farms have more recently experimented with tropical fruits like papaya, pineapple, and avocados. Read about the project here (in Spanish).

Bright and delicious Fuerteventura tomatoes.One of the most delicious things I ate was this avocado, papaya, and shrimp tartar.

Majorero Cheese

The island’s local cheese is called queso Majorero, after the island locals who are called majos. A goat milk cheese, the wheels are often rubbed in olive oil, paprika, or a mix of corn meal and wheat meal called gofio. They also make a smoked version, which was quite delicious.

Two types of Majorero Cheese to try.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

I am a life long fan of Spanish olive oil, and Fuerteventura is home to a gorgeous native variety called Verdial that was quite different from the intense Picual variety I usually buy . It was so incredibly delicious I had to stop myself from buying bottles upon bottles, as I knew we couldn’t bring in on our carry on luggage.

The beautiful Verdial olive trees.

Mojo Picón

The Canarian people say that every mojo picón recipe is slightly different, and I definitely believe it. This addictive sauce was served at nearly every meal we enjoyed, but was always a different color, texture, and level of spiciness. The main ingredients in the red mojo picón (there is also a green version) are olive oil, vinegar, paprika (or a dried pepper), and garlic.

The slightly spicy mojo picón sauce.

Papas Arrugás

The perfect compliment to a good mojo picón sauce are perfectly cooked papas arrugás (technically, papas arrugadas). The translation would be wrinkly potatoes, and that is essentially what they are. They were traditionally cooked in super salty seawater and then baked until wrinkly. The smaller the potatoes, the better the taste.

Our ever so yummy papas arrugás.

Fresh Fish

While goats and cattle were more important than any sort of fishing industry for most of the island’s history, that certainly doesn’t mean that people in Fuerteventura don’t eat fish! On the contrary, fresh fish is found throughout the island and it is typical for a restaurant to advertise their catch of the day at market price. I’d highly recommend the Parrot Fish (Vieja) and the Gilthead Bream (Dorada).

Delicious grilled fish with garlic.

Goat

For many years Fuerteventura’s main industry was goat and cattle farming, and many families throughout the island still raise goats. This has resulted in some of Fuerteventura’s most delicious and traditional dishes– rich goat stews and braised goat dishes. I love goat, and would seriously go back to Fuerteventura just to eat this dish all across the island!

Tender braised goat was among my favorite tastes of Fuerteventura.

Dessert Liquors

Goat milk liquor or honey rum? A tough choice indeed, as both options are perfect for an after dinner drink.

The liquors of Fuerteventura– dangerous!

Gofio

Gofio is a mix of toasted cornmeal and wheatmeal that was once a staple of the Canarian diet. Back when bread was a luxury, a bit of gofio mixed with water went a long way. Nowadays, gofio is used as a thickening agent in some of the island’s famous stews, and is also the start ingredient in the popular gofio mousse, a very sweet dessert found in local restaurants.

Mousse de gofio

Aloe Vera

While not exactly common, I might as well mention my first experience with eating aloe vera. Fuerteventura is home to the largest aloe vera factory in Europe, and apart from making some of the best skin creams in the world, some aloe vera is also destined for our  stomachs! We tried it confitado, basically covered in sugar like the fruit in most trail mixes.

Aloe vera confit

We may have only spent 48 hours in Fuerteventura, but we were eating or drinking for most of it. These were the highlights, but we sampled much more, and left plenty of room for our next visit . If you visit the island looking for authentic and local Fuerteventura food, it is fairly easy to find. But be careful, as the beach areas are filled with international restaurants and tourist traps!

Typical Fuerteventura cuisine: the island’s flavours

In order to understand the essence of the typical Fuerteventura cuisine, you need to go back to the times of the island’s first inhabitants. The Canary Islands’ indigenous inhabitants bequeathed to the island a great charter of flavours which, over time, have evolved into Fuerteventura’s characteristic gastronomic identity. Fuerteventuran cooking retains the original natural and simple methods of preparation, imbued with intense flavours that make a lasting impression.

Eating is one of life’s pleasures, and on this paradise island of endless beaches and constant breezes, it is very much so. Fish is one of the main raw ingredients in so many of the island’s dishes, as is gofio [a toasted grain flour], papas arrugadas or arrugás [wrinkled potatoes], goat meat and of course Majorero cheese. Typical Fuerteventura cuisine opens the door to a very different culinary experience, a treat for the senses that is sure to impress.

The basic elements of Fuerteventuran cuisine:

gofio, papas arrugás and sancocho

• Fish

Fish is one of the island’s favourite raw ingredients, obviously because of its close connection with the ocean. The Fuerteventurans have their own recipes and star dishes. Parrot fish, for example, is among the most popular, especially when stewed, although it is not at all uncommon to find delicious fish casseroles based on gofio, limpets, mussels, brown snails and other small molluscs in Fuerteventura’s finest restaurants.

Sancocho

The highlight of the typical Fuerteventura cuisine is, unquestionably, sancocho [stew] which (strictly speaking) is a dish served during Holy Week. Wreckfish or cured sea bass is normally the main ingredient in this dish which is served accompanied by potatoes, sweet potatoes, sliced gofio, and mojo [traditional Canary Island sauce].

• Goat meat

Fish and seafood provide much of the basis of the typical Fuerteventura cuisine, but they are not the only speciality. In fact, goat meat is one of the essentials of the local cuisine. For years, these animals have roamed freely over the island’s desert-like landscape, and as a result ingredients derived from rearing them have a significant presence in Fuerteventura’s culinary tradition.

Fuerteventuran goats abound in the least inhabited areas of the island, and so it comes as no surprise to encounter them as you pass through inland villages. One dish based on goat meat that you really must try is puchero majorero, an extremely tasty local stew. If you’d prefer something lighter, you could opt instead for roast or fried goat meat.

• Gofio

If there’s one food that you simply must try, it is gofio. This typical food is part of the legacy of the Canary Island indigenous inhabitants. It is a toasted wheat or millet flour to which a pinch of salt is added, and is the most common recipe in the island’s recipe book. Although it can be consumed with milk, or made into a dough or added to puddings, one of the most popular recipes for its use is known as gofio escaldado [stock mixed with gofio to form a thick paste, which is added to stews].

Gofio

As an intrinsic element of Fuerteventura’s cuisine, it may be served as an aperitif or as a filling and warming dish. The best method is to add the gofio to a fish stew and then stir until a thick soup or purée is obtained, which tastes truly delicious.

• Papas arrugadas

If you’ve already embarked on the task of deciding where to eat in Fuerteventura, you will know that in any traditional restaurant, papas arrugadas are never off the menu. These potatoes are one of the classic ingredients of Canary Island—and therefore of Fuerteventuran—cuisine.

To acquire their strange appearance, the ‘wrinkled potatoes’ are well salted as they are cooked. Tradition requires them to be eaten hot and accompanied by the popular mojo verde [green mojo] or mojo picón [spicy mojo].

Papas arrugadas

Majorero cheese: one of Fuerteventura’s treasures

There is a vast choice when it comes to deciding what to eat in Fuerteventura, but if you’re looking for a genuinely local product, you cannot leave the island without trying Majorero cheese. The origins of this cheese date back over two thousand years, when the Guanches [original inhabitants] discovered in it a genuine treasure.

The traditional recipe—a blend of Fuerteventuran goat’s milk and up to 15% sheep’s milk (when it is to be allowed to mature)—was the reason that in 1996 it was selected as the top Canary Island cheese with a designation of origin. In addition, it was the first cheese in Spain to be granted protected status.

Majorero cheese

One of its distinguishing features is the imprint on the sides of the cheese of the palm tree leaves used to mould the rind. Its appearance can vary depending on how its surface has been treated, although most commonly it is rubbed with paprika, olive oil or gofio. With a mild taste (when it is fresh) or a more intense, somewhat piquant flavour (if it has been cured), Majorero cheese is one of the stars of Fuerteventura’s culinary offering.

Currently, production is concentrated within the municipalities of Antigua, Betancuria, La Oliva, Pájara, Puerto del Rosario, and Tuineje—although you can try it in any number of restaurants across the island.

What else to eat in Fuerteventura

The island’s flavours trip lightly from the sea to the mountains, stopping to soak up the blessings offered by the land and by the vast ocean. But beyond the papas arrugadas, the delicious roast goat meat and the stews, it is essential to leave room for the puddings. And the finishing touch to the range of Fuerteventura’s local dishes is added, naturally, by little treats that taste of heaven.

Fachenda [a dessert made with eggs, milk, almonds and sugar], leche machanga [a kind of custard], fritters made with Majorero cheese… there are many to choose from, but one of the superstars is frangollo. Its main ingredient is coarsely ground millet flour, which differs from gofio in that it is not toasted. Traditionally, frangollo is made by adding to this base: goat’s milk, sugar, raisins, egg yolks, and lemon zest. A typical dessert not to be missed.

If you are passionate about food, you like to know the typical gastronomy when you are on holiday and you want to enjoy a good climate, rest and beaches, Fuerteventura is your next destination. 

In this post I will show you the typical meals of the island of Fuerteventura, with which just see the photos you will want to take a plane to taste for yourself.

If you want to taste these delicacies in one day and we show you the best of the gastronomy of the beautiful island do not hesitate to book a place on our tapas tour in Fuerteventura.

What do you need to know about the gastronomy of Fuerteventura?

The ancient inhabitants of the island of Fuerteventura, the Maxoratas , who are known today as Majos , left a culinary legacy rich in fish, meat and a nutritious mass of toasted flour, known as gofio.

However, one of the most outstanding products of this land are its cheeses, which are known as Quesos Majoreros or Maxoratas.

Below we have made a selection of typical Majorcan dishes and desserts with which it will be almost impossible not to make your mouth water:

Carne de Cabra

If you have ever been to Fuerteventura or are planning to visit it soon, you will see that apart from the characteristic desert landscape of the island, there is also a rural landscape where you can see the abundant presence of a special animal: the goat.

Carne de Cabra (goat meat) is one of the star dishes of the typical Majorero cuisine that you must try once you visit the island.

This tasty dish is composed of: goat meat, onion, olive oil, carrots, potatoes, red pepper, red wine, salt, cumin and thyme. 

You can also find this type of meat in the famous Puchero canario, similar to a stew.

Puchero Canario

This typical dish of Canarian gastronomy can also be found among the typical food of Fuerteventura. 

The uniqueness of this dish, in the case of the island of Fuerteventura, is that instead of being prepared with chicken, it is made with goat or kid meat.

Therefore, the main ingredients are: roasted potatoes or sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkins, chickpeas, corn, beans and chicken or goat (in the case of puchero majorero).

Sancocho

Another ingredient that cannot be missing in the typical dishes of Majorcan gastronomy is fish and seafood.

Sancocho is a typical dish of roasted fish, with potatoes, sweet potato, gofio and spicy sauce.

Each of the ingredients of this delicious dish are served separately, on one side the fish is served, without broth, and on the other side, the potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The gofio also has its own dish and the sauce is placed in recipient to be served to taste.

Pejines

Pejines are a type of small fish similar to anchovies, which are served as starters in some restaurants where the main offer is fish or seafood. 

This type of fish is served in portions and can be eaten whole, from head to tail, due to its small size.

They can be grilled, fried or sun-dried and can be served with a squeeze of lemon.

Majorero Cheese

Cheese was one of the products of the cuisine of the island of Fuerteventura that presented and presents a very important role in the diet of the people of the island of Fuerteventura.  

This cheese was one of the first in the Canary Islands to obtain the recognition of Denomination of Origin and the first protected goat cheese in Spain.

To make this very special cheese, today, we follow the traditional recipe used by the Majorera aborigines, mixing raw or pasteurized Majorera goat’s milk with 15% of Canary Island sheep’s milk.

One of the characteristics of this cheese is that a palm leaf is used to mould the rind and the base.

In addition, its surface can be of different colours depending on whether it has been rubbed with oil, gofio or paprika.  

Inside, it is a white-yellowish cheese with a creamy or semi-hard texture. When it is cured it can have a spicier and stronger flavour, but when it is fresh it has a milder flavour.

Papas arrugadas con mojo

One of the typical dishes of the gastronomy of the Canary Islands is the wrinkled potatoes with green sauce or picón, and of course, it could not be missing in the typical food that you will find in Fuerteventura.

This dish consists of boiling potatoes without removing the skin and adding a lot of salt (especially sea salt) and adding mojo verde or mojo picón, a sauce made from peppers, garlic, salt, paprika, cumin or coriander, oil, vinegar, parsley, tomato, saffron and water.

The potatoes used for this meal are a special type of potato grown only in the Canary Islands and are known as papa bonita. They are also characterised by their small size, which makes it possible to eat them with your hands.

Escaldón de Gofio

This dish is a legacy of the aboriginal Canarian population, and is therefore a typical dish of Canarian gastronomy.

The main ingredient of this dish is toasted wheat or millet flour, which is known as Gofio. Red onion, chopped pork ribs, green or red mojo, mint and saltare usually added to the scalded.

Majorero cheese fritters

Once you’ve tried the Majorero cheese and discovered its rich flavor, you can’t miss this exquisite dessert.  

Buñuelos consist of a fried flour dough that can contain both a sweet and a salty filling and is an ideal dessert after a good meal.

On the island of Fuerteventura are very typical buñuelos filled with majorero cheese, are made just like the traditional buñuelos, but inside you will find a delicious goat cheese.

Majorero cake

For lovers of confectionery and especially biscuits I recommend trying the famous Bizcocho Majorero..

Its preparation is similar to that of traditional sponge cakes, however, instead of using normal flour, chickpea flour is used which gives it a unique and special touch.

Fuerteventura Food & Drink Travel Guide

Home » Fuerteventura Food & Drink Travel Guide

I’d like to think I’m not biased but I probably am. For me, Fuerteventura is the most beautiful of the larger Canary Islands. I’ve been to Lanzarote, Tenerife and I worked in Gran Canaria many years ago. But Fuerte is unspoilt, there are miles of the most gorgeous beaches and, of course, there’s the food.

Everyone knows Spanish tortilla and Sangria. But with goats nearly as plentiful as residents here, goat’s cheese is now an award-winning product and exported to ‘La Peninsula’ as mainland Spain is called. Fish is plentiful and fresh, as are vegetables and fruit. Aloe Vera is manufactured in the South and Ron Miel, honey rum, is regularly given as a free shot with your restaurant bill.

Explore this beautiful island with my guide to Fuerteventura’s best markets, restaurants, and bars.

MARKETS

Corralejo, the main town in the north, has an Artisan Market in the Campanario Centre every Thursday and Sunday, with Sunday being the livelier of the two, mainly due to the infectious live music. Artisan products of every kind are on sale – jewellery, pottery, crafts. Make a beeline for the stall that sells the Lanzarote chocolate, local jams (all called mermalada) and cream of banana vinegar. Open from 9am till 2pm.

The Mercado Agricola de la Biosfera, upstairs in the Estacion de Guaguas in Puerto del Rosario is fairly low-key as it’s mainly directed at locals. (BTW, this is the bus station, as buses here are called guaguas, pronounced wah-wahs). The main products on sale are goats milk cheese, vegetables, bread, eggs, fish.

‘Queso Majorero’, the island goats cheese comes soft, hard, semi-cured and cured. Goats are everywhere, mainly roaming the land and the milk produced is thick, flavoursome and high-fat. The undoubted talent of the cheesemakers added to this milk produces a high quality cheese that saw the Co-op win the prestigious Golden Prize in the World Cheese Awards in 2015. If you’re interested in seeing how it’s made the Majorero Cheese Museum outside Antigua is well worth visiting.

What’s interesting now is that some of the cheese producers have branched out with other products including goats cheese yogurts flavoured with various fruits – mango, strawberry, figs. Before you leave the market, have a coffee in the café in the corner with a tarta de queso (cheesecake) or a mouthwatering triangle of chocolate with a nutty filling. Open every Saturday from 09.00 – 14.00

The La Lajita Zoo and Gardens is worth a visit; go on Sunday mornings and you’ll have the advantage of shopping in the market. All local foods are here – lots of fresh vegetables, cheese, baking and locally caught fish.

Restaurant Cofete is probably the most inaccessible eating place on the island. On the West coast, the beach here is fantastic. The restaurant is in the tiny village and is great for fish and salads. There are daily buses to Cofete – otherwise you need a 4×4 as it’s over the mountain on a track similar to a ‘boreen.’

You can’t miss La Vaca Azul in El Cotillo – there’s a large blue cow sitting on the roof. One of the oldest restaurants on the island, it specialises in fish. Prawns, octopus, squid, mussels, as well as local varieties. Goats stew is also available.

Betancuria was the original capital of the island. Now it’s famous for Casa Santa Maria restaurant, the ‘most charming on the island’ according to Michelin Guide. Open for lunch only this is where you’ll find real Canarian food. Braised kid and stuffed rabbit are the specialities. Driving here can be a bit scary – think the Ring of Kerry with volcanoes. But it’s worth it.

The tiny village of Triquivijte doesn’t have a supermarket but it has a restaurant called simply Antonia. Lunch is a treat with local specialities including serrano ham and cheese.

DINNER

Villaverde, just a few miles from Corralejo is well-known for its cheese and excellent restaurants. El Horno is decorated like an old Canarian house with a huge wood-fired grill just inside the door. People come here just to eat the roast goat.

Casa Marcos has a well-deserved Bib Gourmand from Michelin for its traditional cuisine. You can dine on the outdoor terrace which has great mountain views or in one of the three small rooms inside. It’s what’s called ‘typically rustic’ but visiting the loo is a must – set inside a stone windmill. The menu changes daily and is brought to your table on a blackboard.

Gin Bahia is a really good Italian restaurant in Corralejo. As the name suggests it also has a gin menu. There are about 40 or so gins and four or five tonics. The price you pay depends on which tonic you buy to go with your gin. However, be warned. A G&T here will set you back at least €7.50, expensive when you consider that a decent bottle of Rioja is only €12. Fish with tomatoes, capers and olives an excellent main. Naturally, desserts include Tiramisu but the chocolate mousse is to die for.

But if it’s Italian you want, don’t pass by La Scarpetta, also in Corralejo, where owner Mario will talk you through the daily specials. As well as all the usual pastas and pizzas, there’s lots of fresh fish and four types of risotto.

Fishermens community restaurants are in many of the towns around the island’s coast. Cofradia de Pescadores de Morro Jable, right down by the harbour in Morro Jable, has the freshest of fish available – the boats come in with the catch just across the road.

Another tiny place with two excellent fish restaurants is Pozo Negro. Before you reach the black beach and the restaurants – Los Pescadores and Los Caracoles – have a look at the original Aborigine village of the same name. There’s an excellent information centre with a huge amount of information about the first settlers on the island.

DRINKS & TAPAS

Any G&T lover will know there has been an explosion of gins in Ireland. But I was surprised to discover that gin is on a roll as well here in Fuerte. I asked for Irish gin in Casa Toño, a well-known gin house in Puerto del Rosario but it hasn’t reached here yet. The Scottish Hendrick’s – which is now more or less ubiquitous – was there along with Norwegian and English. But Spanish brands were top of the list. There was Nordes Atlantic Galician Gin, Blanc Ocean, Gin Mare and my favourite Puerto de Indias strawberry flavoured pink gin. It arrives in a balloon glass with fresh orange and strawberries.

Rock Island Bar in Corralejo is probably the oldest bar on the island. Tiny inside, the place to sit is outside on the pedestrianised street, watch the world go by and drink one of their great cocktails or my favourite tipple here – pink Cava. This is also one of the few bars that doesn’t serve food.

Who knew that adding aloe vera gel to Tequila and Cointreau would make a delicious Margarita? Or that pineapple juice, apple juice and some ginger added to aloe vera gel makes a very zingy non-alcoholic cocktail? Rossella Fontana of Aloe Forever and Gilda’s tapas bar in Corralejo are holding a monthly Sunday evening of Aloe drinks and music so pop along for some unexpectedly delicious drinks. Gilda’s is a sister tapas bar to Pincha Cabra, possibly the best in town.

DESSERTS

Churros are beloved of Spaniards. These deep-fried pieces of dough are dipped in hot chocolate and are a delicious finger food. While there are many restaurants serving these, probably the best place to try them is from a food stall when it’s Carnival time.

It’s the French who have cornered the dessert market with their gorgeous range of croissants, pastries and tarts. Try El Goloso in Lajares, Puerto del Rosario and El Cotillo, or La Folie de Delices in Corralejo.

Also in Puerto del Rosario is Dulce de Leche – try the traditional mille feuille, known to children as milly filly. The Chocolate Shop in Caleta de Fuste not only sells chocolate but a range of delicious chocolate cakes.

The Italians give us their authentic ice-cream – there might well be queues in La Puntilla in El Cotillo and La Cremeria in Corralejo. Homemade cones and rich ice-cream. Flavours include chocolate, mint, strawberry – the list goes on.

TOP 10 Tenerife – airBaltic blog

There are hundreds of ways to enjoy Tenerife. It doesn’t matter if you are traveling alone, as a couple or with a large family. We have prepared for you 10 stops worth remembering when you are in Tenerife.

Buy flights to Tenerife

Idillic (and wonderful) nature

Tenerife has 43 protected areas occupying almost half of the island. These include the Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The summit of the Teide volcano is located at an altitude of 3718 meters and is the highest point in Spain.

Teide is a volcano that can be reached by cable car, which offers amazing views. And in the parks of Anaga and Teno, you will be delighted with laurel forests of the Tertiary period, giant ferns and a fabulous atmosphere.

In turn, the Los Gigantes cliffs, towering 600 meters above sea level, captivate everyone instantly.

Endless leisure opportunities

Fun is definitely in the island’s DNA: you’ll find magical beach clubs and rooftop bars, original shows for all tastes, festivals featuring some of the hottest music stars, and arguably the best carnival in the world.

There are other ways to enjoy Tenerife, such as lounging all day on one of the beautiful local beaches, soaking up the sun or kayaking, windsurfing, surfing or diving. Nearby there will always be numerous opportunities for cyclists and hikers, as well as for everyone who wants to fly on a paraglider, enjoying the incredibly beautiful scenery of the island.

Refreshing beaches and pools

Tenerife’s beaches and hot sun are literally inseparable, and this successful combination attracts millions of holidaymakers to the island every year. The beaches in the south and north of the island, covered with golden or black sand (the black tone of the sand, for example, on Benio beach, testifies to the volcanic origin of the island), will give you the opportunity to sunbathe and swim to your heart’s content.

The natural pools formed by the freezing of lava (the locals call them “charcos”) are also a great and extremely pleasant alternative, for example, “Charco de La Laja” in San Juan de la Rambla or “Charco del Viento” in Icod de los Vinos and “La Jaquita” in Guia de Isora.

A unique cetacean watching experience

In the southern waters of the island, about three miles from the coast, you can be among the whales 365 days a year. Tenerife is one of the best whale watching destinations in the world, home to a huge colony of bottlenose dolphins and about 400 pilot whales.

Photo by Francis Pérez

It’s as easy as shelling pears: you need to go to one of the southern ports of the island and board one of the boats that have permission to conduct such excursions.

Charming towns and villages

TEA), created by the architectural bureau “Herzog & De Meuron”.

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, La Laguna features traditional villas and courtyards. They can compete in beauty with buildings in the historical centers of other cities, which are also definitely worth your attention. There are many such cities, for example, La Orotava, Garachico and Icod de los Vinos, ready to receive guests of the island at any time of the year.

Unrivaled food

Tenerife’s cuisine has undergone a major transformation in recent years, with great recognition for creative and original local dishes made with quality ingredients such as tuna, bananas and avocados. They are complemented by local wines, whose history dates back to the 15th century. Local grape varieties, climate and volcanic soil of the island give the wine a unique and special taste.

Five of the island’s restaurants have been awarded Michelin stars, which testifies to really tasty and quality food.

Paradise for the whole family

Even the smallest members of the family will have a great time in Tenerife. And it’s not just about the beauties of the island, its picturesque mountains and beaches. Both in the north and in the south of the island you will find exciting amusement parks where the fun never ends!

We advise you to visit the water amusement park “Siam Park” with many slides for children and adults, as well as “Loro Parque” – a unique zoo with a wide variety of animal species. Both parks are considered the best in the world in their categories by TripAdvisor.

Many institutions have chosen to focus specifically on families with children and pay special attention to this category of travelers.

Clear blue sky

Tenerife’s sky is one of the most valuable in the world when it comes to stargazing, as it is amazingly clear and clear. The island is home to the prestigious Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, which has installed telescopes for local and international teams of scientists. Any visitor can also look at the starry sky – several companies offer stargazing as an entertainment – accompanied by experienced guides and refreshing drinks.

Abundance of traditions

Traditions are highly valued in Tenerife and holidays are celebrated in full. One of the clearest examples of Canarian culture is the pilgrimages, or “romerias”. From March to September, the city is literally taken over by ox carts and traditional dishes such as potatoes with special sauces, wines and meats. The island’s calendar is full of various festivals, many of which have a religious focus. Easter week in La Laguna and the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, with the obligatory visit to the Teide tapestries of flowers and volcanic sand in La Orotava, are really worth seeing. In February, the island takes over the carnival, especially the capital of Santa Cruz, which hosts one of the brightest and most colorful celebrations in the world.

Everything for your well-being

Tenerife, like any other resort, offers tourists the best, from four- and five-star hotels to various spas and wellness centers, as well as an ideal climate.

At the same time, the island has a very developed modern healthcare infrastructure and professionals with international experience. This makes Tenerife an excellent place to combine relaxation and medical treatments or surgeries, with the highest guarantees and certifications required by the European Union. It is worth noting the financial savings on medical services, which on the island, compared to other countries, will cost you much less.

Canary Islands. Part 04: Animal world of Fuerteventura. – Andrey Rumyantsev

Today I will tell you about the fauna of the islands of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, or rather, about the living creatures that we met during our vacation in the Canary Islands. As a biologist by education, I am always interested in any representatives of the animal world of any region, and trying to catch them in the camera lens is already my “duty” as a photographer.

The fauna of the Canary Islands does not shine with diversity due to its geographical position, but, nevertheless, the local fauna includes more than a hundred species of various living creatures, of which 23 species were brought to the islands from other countries. These are mainly domesticated animals (dogs, cats, goats, cows, pigs, sheep, camels, rabbits), as well as all kinds of rats, hamsters, frogs, etc.

Who is the most on the islands? Of course, they are birds. About 75 species live here, and some of them are very rare and are not found anywhere else in the world. Birds are everywhere here: in the sky, on the ground and on the water, in the crowns of trees and gorges of volcanic rocks. The Canaries with their climate is a real bird kingdom!

However, let’s return directly to the island of Fuerteventura, where we spent most of the time. The island is famous for its goats and all kinds of goat products. It is not without reason that the goat is the symbol of the island. Her image is present on most souvenirs, from magnets to all kinds of dishes, as well as on various clothes, bags, car stickers, etc. It is said that there are much more goats on the island than local residents.

Perhaps you will laugh, but it turned out that during our trips around the island, we did not meet a single goat … We repeatedly saw numerous goat pens, but they themselves were not there … Therefore, there will be no photographs of Canary goats. ..

I must say right away that in this report there will also be no photographs of dogs, the famous yellow canaries and lizards. Stray dogs, oddly enough, we practically did not come across … a few, and even then not deserving special attention. Canaries most likely live in natural parks and on the greener islands of the Canary archipelago.

Lizards, or rather small geckos, we came across several times, but, because of their nimbleness, I did not have time to photograph them. By the way, the gecko or fire salamander are also generalizing symbols of all the Canary Islands, emphasizing their volcanic origin.

Cats. I have long had a weakness for these majestic and graceful creatures, so the obligatory photographing of various cats is an indispensable condition for any of my travels. What can you say about local cats? Yes, they are exactly the same as in any other country, however, perhaps slower and sleepier. Most of the cats we met used to rest in some shade, squinting their eyes lazily in the bright sun.

The very first “overseas species” that we met was a beauty – Ringed dove (lat. Streptopelia decaocto ). This graceful bird is plentiful, both in the wilderness and in cities, especially in tourist centers where there is something to profit from. I put the word “overseas” in quotation marks, since these turtledoves are found throughout Europe and the Baltic states, where they spread from Asia Minor, and some of them acclimatized even in Moscow.

The collared turtledove is distinguished by a pinkish-coffee plumage with small bluish patches on the wings. The tail feathers have a white edge and the neck has a black and white horseshoe collar.

Like the common dove, this dove is very closely connected with humans and therefore is not afraid of them. The bird is not shy and allows you to approach it at close range.

Almost every morning these birds flew to the balcony of our hotel and looked for something to profit from with their keen eyes. In resort hotels, many guests like to have breakfast on the balcony of their room, so after eating there are always some crumbs that turtle doves look out for.

After we began to actively feed them, turtledoves became so bold that they allowed themselves to be photographed at close range, not at all afraid of humans.

A couple of times we also met single representatives of common rock pigeons (lat. Columba livia ). Despite the fact that rock pigeons are widespread throughout the world, there are very few of them here. Yes, and numerous doves do not particularly favor them, and in the struggle for food they often drive.

And one morning we saw a very beautiful parrot that landed on a lamppost right in front of our room. As it turned out, it was Strawberry-headed lovebird (Lilliana’s lovebird) (lat. Agapornis lilianae ), living mainly in Central and South Africa. Thanks for the info: d_scal .

There are a lot of parrots in Fuerteventura, mostly budgerigars. They live in the crowns of tall date palms in small groups and make a loud noise, drawing attention to themselves.

Since we are talking about birds, I would also like to say a few words about seagulls. These are predominantly large Herring Gulls (lat. Larus argentatus ) with white plumage, gray wings, yellow paws and a powerful beak. Especially a lot of seagulls can be observed near the piers and at low tide, when the ocean recedes, exposing the bottom. In the formed “lakes” of water, seagulls look for various invertebrates and small fish. Seagulls often fly at a considerable distance from the coast, hunting for larger fish.

During the low tides in Fuerteventura, we saw another bird species. These are small birds, similar to partridges, of a brownish color with a white belly, running briskly on short legs along the coastal stones. I find it difficult to name the species, but perhaps they are Small Puffins, although I may be mistaken. In the photo below, you can try to find them among the stones.

Now I want to tell you a little about the “Canarian chipmunks”. We met these cute fluffy creatures during trips to the cities of La Oliva and Antigua. In fact, these animals, which have the typical habits of gophers, have nothing to do with real chipmunks. It’s Maghreb ground squirrel ( lat. Atlantoxerus getulus ) from the genus Atlantoxerus , a separate subfamily of mammals of the squirrel family Xerinae .

Squirrels live in small flocks in rocky areas at the foot of hills, as well as near human settlements where there are stone fences. Maghreb squirrels are active only in the early morning and evening, and wait out the heat of the day in burrows that they dig among the stones.

While some squirrels quickly run after each other, playing catch-up, others at this time stand guard on their hind legs, vigilantly peering into the distance. In the event of danger approaching, squirrels instantly hide in stones.

In order to take a few good shots, I had to hold my breath and move literally a centimeter to the shooting distance . .. The slightest wrong move and now there is no one in front of you. However, curiosity still prevails, and the most daring individuals begin to carefully protrude from the stones, looking at the guests with interest.

Maghreb squirrels also live in less rocky areas, as well as in the area of ​​​​uncrowded beaches, not being afraid to steal food from the bags of tourists and open cars …

there are no poisonous snakes, no spiders, no scorpions, and no annoying insects. There are no predatory species of animals that pose a threat to humans. Due to the cold current, poisonous fish, rays, jellyfish, sea urchins and other dangerous animals are not found in the coastal zone of the ocean. As for sharks, they are very rare and never swim close to the shore.

That’s it. And in my next report on the Canaries, I will tell you about the main flora of the islands. See you!

Tourism with children — LiveJournal

The Canary Islands are already becoming a second dacha (although we don’t even have a first…) and visit more often, there aren’t really any other options in the fall-spring . .. There’s nothing special to tell, it’s four hours to fly from London, closer than to Egypt, we rent a car on the spot and drive to the hotel for about an hour. This time we again chose Fuerteventura, but took a different hotel. Actually, we wanted to take her last time, but we were dissuaded by her husband’s parents. As a result, I didn’t like the last one at all, the main nightmare was the poured gravel around all the pools, and I was tormented to distract my two-year-old elder (at that time the only one), who considered it his duty to throw the maximum number of stones into the pools.

Number
This time we took the Melia Hotel. When we arrived already very late in the evening, I categorically did not like the hotel: a high-rise building, with long corridors and cracked doors. But in the morning life began to improve. The bathroom door remained dry and hard to close, but everything else was quite good. We lived on the 7th floor, from where there was a great view of the skiing area, and you could always see whether to go skiing or there was no wind. The rest of the hotel is like a hotel, clean, decent rooms.

Food
Feed for slaughter. We took a full board, calculated that with all the snacks in bars or even food from stores (for which you have to drive) it turned out not more expensive, and maybe cheaper. They cook well, constantly, and for lunch, and for dinner there is fish or meat, which is fried fresh in front of you. This creates queues, but not critical, and the quality is an order of magnitude better than other hotels, where everything is already cooked. Fruits, ice cream (including at lunch), drinks. In addition to breakfast-lunch-dinner, soft drinks are unlimited (I’m not sure about alcohol, lunch and dinner are free, and in between I didn’t have time to ask). Up to 4 hours you can have a snack with donuts with tea or coffee (well, this, of course, is for especially weightless gourmets).

Puddle
The main thing that attracted us to this hotel last time was the lagoon. Periodically, it is filled with water, on some days it is very high. The schedule can be viewed here. The lagoon is some kind of happiness with children. They can swarm in the sand and water for hours, dig trenches, build castles, or just splash on the water. The only problem is, since the place is windy, you won’t go very close to the shore on all days, it blows away. One of the times the tide was so strong that we miraculously did not flood the stroller left on the shore. Well, I dragged her under a palm tree higher to the shore so that she would not stand in the sun. On the shore at low tide you can rent a kind of cart with a sail: I have never seen anyone riding, but there is such a possibility. The husband drove the children a little to their delight, but this shop was quickly closed – they said it was dangerous. The beach is huge, you can drive the children away and allow them to throw sand: they are happy and they won’t hit anyone. Our youngest habitually ate sand.

Swimming pools, ocean The water is not ice cold, but very uncomfortable. The kids pool has a nice slide, but unfortunately only our oldest dared to get in and swim a bit. But even then he was not enough for a long time and swam to blue lips. The younger one never voluntarily climbed into the water, once, while playing on a slide, he fell down and was very indignant at this fact. Didn’t get close to the pool. Children of advanced parents swam in wetsuits, they also bought ours for the next trip. The ocean was surprisingly warm. Being heat-loving, I even voluntarily bathed a couple of times (times when I fall off the board do not count as swimming). Towels can be taken, a deposit of 20 euros (returned), exchanged for a clean one – euros. 9

At the hotel shop, I asked if they had lactose-free milk for the younger one – the owner brought 6 packages especially for me, so I didn’t even have to drag myself to the store. I think under the order he will bring what you need with a minimum margin. Diapers, sunscreen, spatulas, swim diapers, it’s all there. There is a small playground, a short mini-disco, billiards for one euro. In general, a standard set. Babies are provided with cribs.

Sports
There are tennis courts, but my husband and I never bothered to play, but his parents played. There is a good gym: small, but I had everything I needed more or less.

Windsurfing wheelchair
With ambush wheelchair. My husband and dad, being more advanced, rode well, but the wind was too strong for me most of the time (there was no wind at all for a couple of days). And the main problem is that maybe I would be able to ride, but there are absolutely no instructors at the station. There are three groups per day: two beginners and one advanced that learns the water start. It is impossible to take private lessons for any money. That is, if you go there, you need to somehow look for instructors from outside. The base itself seems to be nothing, but if you don’t book a board with them a week in advance, then they give you an hourly or daily proc in the order of the queue, and all those who booked boards in advance go without a queue.
