You’ll need a moderate level of fitness to enjoy the hikes to the full, but your guide will adjust the pace to suit the group's abilities.

Visitors to the Canary Islands are often surprised by the quality of the food. Most of the ingredients used are produced locally, including vegetables grown in the island's rich volcanic soil and fish and shellfish caught in the surrounding waters.
You’re sure to encounter papas arrugadas - small potatoes served in a sauce of garlic, olive oil, vinegar, herbs and spices. Thick vegetable and meat soups are also common. Main courses include grilled fish, calamari, prawns, and a variety of meats served roasted or stewed. The islands also produce award-winning wines.
Most dietary requirements can be accommodated, just let your host know beforehand.

Descend via a charming church and head to the remarkable Acantilado volcanic cave with a view that was once considered the end of the world.

Drop back down to Tacorón Bay for a swim and then drive to La Restinga, the southernmost village in Spain, before returning to your hotel for a last night in this remote and peaceful paradise.
