These "wrinkled potatoes" can be found on just about any menu in the Canary Islands, but few places know how to do them well. This traditional dish consists of new potatoes that are boiled in salt water - with so much sea salt that the skin wrinkles and leaves some crunchy bits on the outside. I snapped this photo after downing a few because I was so excited... 4€ for a "tapa" dish to share. #foodwithaview #pridemonth #kimberleepower #refugiotheanimalacademy

Papas arrugadas

These bite-sized green peppers are deep fried and sprinkled with sea salt. A bonus was the roasted veggies that were in the center, along with several cherry tomatoes that were fried in with the peppers. 7,50€ as a side to split between two people. Eating next to the sea makes the experience one of a kind 😎 #foodwithaview #kimberleepower #refugiotheanimalacademy #pridemonth

Pimientos de Padrón

Finally decided to try this restaurant which has a handful of vegan options. This dish was unique as the veg chunks were coated with gofio, the corn meal typical to many traditional Canary Island dishes. Red, yellow and green peppers, red onion, eggplant, zucchini and mushrooms were coated with a delicate crunchy layer and drizzled with Canarian palm honey (plant-based from local palm tree sap). It was so delicious!!! Not the healthiest option being a fried food, but well worth trying. 7,50€ for a well-sized portion. A "Callao" is a lava stone that has been rounded and made smooth by the sea - the black beach in view is made of such stones. The restaurant has an interior space and also a seating area on the old dock of the town. You literally cannot eat closer to the water! #foodwithaview #kimberleepower #refugiotheanimalacademy #pridemonth
