Gran Canaria's seamless blend of Spanish, African and Latin American flavours makes for a culinary experience like no other. With your Scandinavian-speaking guide on hand to show you around, this tour serves up a selection of local delicacies, with a side order of scenic and impressive views. Lukas, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘There's a great mix of island landscapes and authentic flavours on this tour, and you'll get to find out how our wonderful local rum is produced from sugar cane.'
We'll start with a light tapas treat in Finca Los Olivos, where you'll get to sample some classic Canarian specialities in a great setting. Next, you'll head to Arehucas distillery to sample some of its famed rum. The distillery tour includes an introduction to the history of rum in Gran Canaria, and how what was initially a side product of sugar production became one of the best loved island products. To finish off, you'll enjoy a tasting of some of the different rums produced at the distillery.
Then, as lunchtime beckons, you'll round off your trip with a tasty Canarian lunch made with locally produced ingredients at a family-run restaurant. You'll either be under the cool, vaulted ceilings of the cave or out on the terrace with views of the valley and mountains.
