Surrounded by stunning beaches, this archipelago is renowned for the variety of seafood on offer, as well as its many healthy side dishes. Discover the cuisine of the Canary Islands, a unique blend of Spanish, African and Latin America foods with a combination of freshness and flavour. Historically, the islands were the first stop on Spanish soil as ships returned from the Americas, and so they began growing and incorporating foods from the Americas into their diets, such as potatoes, beans, tomatoes, avocados, papaya, maize and cocoa. Other foods from around the globe were brought to the islands by sailors, the banana became a staple part of their diet, where it is served fried or made into tarts, served with rice, eggs, or meat sauce. Other staples of the cuisine include a wide variety of fish which are typically prepared in three different ways, covered in salt and fried, baked, or jareado (sun-dried and seasoned).
