Fish, coffee and Canary Islands cuisine in Agaete
At lunchtime, Puerto de las Nieves is a hive of activity; between 2 pm and 4 pm, the harbour-side restaurants such as La taberna del puerto de Agaete fill up. Some close again in the afternoon. The ‚menú del día‘ costs between 10 and 14 euros for three courses including a drink and is better value than the evening menu. In the off-season, you can usually get a table without a booking. Agaete coffee is cheapest if bought directly in the valley; at the airport, it costs several times as much. In locals‘ haunts such as El Semáforo de Agaete, the menu is often only in Spanish.
