Fuerteventura’s tapas are tucked away in the village centres of El Cotillo and Morro Jable, not on the resort beaches. If you’re looking for the 10 best tapas bars on Fuerteventura, you’ll find them at places such as C. Virgen de Loreto in El Cotillo, where Los Cazadores has racked up 352 reviews, or on Calle Iglesia in Corralejo, where Tapas Oscar has received 4,786 reviews. The Queso majorero comes fresh from the wheel. The red mojo has a distinctive heat of its own. Locals have their lunch in Gran Tarajal, not on the beach.
Tapas on Fuerteventura: What connoisseurs know
Between 2 pm and 4 pm, the little restaurants fill up. That’s when the ‚Menú del día‘ appears on the blackboard for between 10 and 14 euros – a three-course meal including a drink. In the evenings, prices and crowds increase. In village bars such as La Tasca de Raíces in Gran Tarajal, which has only 14 reviews to its name, cash comes in handy, as card payments are often not accepted. The menus there are displayed in Spanish only. At Easter and in August, it’s worth booking a table in the larger towns, though this isn’t necessary in the local pubs.
