Food and drink

You'll find a superb variety of international, seafood and fast food restaurants in all the main resorts. If you fancy Spanish tapas and more traditional home flavours, seek out an authentic restaurant, where you'll find specialities like Potaje, a local vegetable soup and delicious fresh fish served with young white wines from the north. For a side order with lots of flavour, try the potato dish Papas Arrugadas, served with a red or green garlic sauce.

Evening Flavour

You'll find plenty of lively bars, pubs and clubs in and around the Veronica strip in Playa de las Americas. For something a little more Continental, head down to Playa de las Americas's Safari Commercial Centre, with its superb choice of restaurants and great shopping. For cosmopolitan pavement cafes and waterfront restaurants, head for Los Cristianos and Puerto de la Cruz.

Shopping

Look out for weekly market days and street stalls in the main resorts to pick up bargain trinkets, leather goods and clothing. Shopaholics will love Playa de Las Americas' Safari Commercial Centre, with its designer boutiques and jewellery shops.
