The Spanish often refer to the Canary Islands as the "Islas Afortunadas" as the sun shines practically throughout the year, their only borders are the sky and the sea, and because their fauna, flora and culture, at time so different to that of mainland Spain, are real treasures. However, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call the visitor to these islands "fortunate"; not only because he can enjoy the sun, sea and environment but also because he has been presented with the opportunity to taste their culinary delights.

  • The Spanish often refer to the Canary Islands as the "Islas Afortunadas" as the sun shines practically throughout the year, their only borders are the sky and the sea, and because their fauna, flora and culture, at time so different to that of mainland Spain, are real treasures.

The typical person from the Canary Islands is noble, kind, with deep-routed traditions yet a great sense of humour, all of which are reflected in the cooking - the simple, nutritive and appetising dishes are the result of the Canary Island tradition. Canary Islands cuisine reflects Spanish, Portuguese, and North African influence as well as its role as a staging post to the Americas.
