Je komt meer te weten over het vakmanschap achter de traditionele kazen en de onvermoeibare inspanningen van verschillende generaties om dit oude ambacht te behouden. Ook woon je een "salto del pastor" demonstratie bij - een populaire volkssport die een opmerkelijke behendigheid en vaardigheid vereist.
Je sluit je avontuur af bij Mirador de Garachico, een traditioneel restaurant waar de derde generatie eigenaars de Canarische keuken met moderne flair naar een hoger niveau tillen. Je proeft een menu dat is samengesteld om je de smaken en landschappen van Teno Alto te laten ontdeken. De lokaal geteelde producten weerspiegelen de culinaire rijkdom van de regio.
