Traditional Sweet Dishes
Bienmesabe
Bienmesabe's name literally means "it tastes good to me", and this creamy almond, honey and egg dessert was once a luxurious way to use the island's almonds and sweeten celebrations.
Truchas de batata
Truchas de batata are crescent-shaped pastries filled with sweet potato, sugar and cinnamon, traditionally made at Christmas and named because their shape evokes little trout.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Papas arrugadas with mojo
Papas arrugadas get their wrinkled skin from boiling in very salty water until the salt crusts the skin, and the spicy mojo sauces that accompany them are a Canary Islands signature that brighten simple island potatoes.
Gofio dishes
Gofio is a toasted grain flour used since pre-Hispanic Guanche times, its nutty flavor and fine texture are stirred into porridges, soups and desserts, making it a practical and prideful symbol of Canary Island food culture.
Traditional Beverages
Barraquito
A barraquito is a showy layered coffee with condensed milk, Licor 43, espresso, frothed milk, lemon peel and cinnamon, often served in a tall glass so the bright layers are part of the experience.
Local wines
Lanzarote's vineyards grow inside low stone semicircles in volcanic ash, and wines, often made from Malvasia grapes, carry a salty, mineral character that reflects the island's volcanic soil and Atlantic breeze.

Unexpectedly stunning volcanic landscapes, food is fresher than I thought. Locals are friendly, but bring layers, nights get chilly.
Overhyped for my taste. Lots of tour buses, restaurants near attractions are overpriced. Good scenery, weak nightlife though.
Sunday market in Teguise is a must for cheap local food and crafts, go early to avoid crowds and skip the midday ferry rush from Playa Blanca.
Renting a car saved time, but fill up at supermarkets outside tourist towns; fuel and groceries are much cheaper than at beach fronts.
Timanfaya at sunset is otherworldly, the live geothermic demo is cool. Arrive early or the guided buses are packed and noisy.
