The experience

You start at Plaza de Santa Ana, the heart of Vegueta, surrounded by the Cathedral of Santa Ana and colonial buildings. From there, the route unfolds on your schedule: four stops within easy walking distance, each one a local restaurant where you choose between two curated tapa options and pick your drink. Local wine, beer, soft drink or water. The digital guide arrives 24 hours before you go, with clear instructions for each stop and a map of the route through Calle Espíritu Santo, Calle Obispo Codina and the side streets that connect them.

The tapas themselves are rooted in what Canarians actually eat: papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes), almogrote (a local cheese spread), and other regional classics alongside Spanish standards. You taste four of them across the afternoon, one at each stop, which means you're sampling without the heaviness of a full meal. The walk between stops passes through the Old Town's charming plazas and past historic landmarks, so the eating is woven into the wandering, not separate from it. Your final stop lands at Plaza de Santo Domingo, framed by colorful colonial houses and the Church of Santo Domingo.

Because this is self-guided, you control the timing. Spend twenty minutes at a stop or an hour: the route doesn't move without you. The digital guide includes detailed information about each restaurant and the area, so you know what you're walking into. If something is unclear or you need help during the tour, WhatsApp support is available before and during the experience. You'll need a smartphone with internet access to view the guide and get directions.
