Meals

All breakfasts and four dinners are included. Breakfasts are generally a simple buffet affair at your hotel, usually including a bread selection, jam, pastries, cold meats and cheese. Dinners are taken from a set menu at a local restaurant or at your hotel and offer a variety of mouth-watering dishes and international cuisine, with lots of fish and meat options and always a couple of vegetarian alternatives. Local specialities include papas arrugudas (wrinkly potatoes), fresh goat cheese, lots of fish dishes, and copious amounts of mojo sauce. Lunch options include ordering a packed lunch from the hotel, visiting a supermarket to buy provisions and enjoying lunch at a local bar. We recommend budgeting โ‚ฌ25-โ‚ฌ30 in total for lunches. Wine is not included with dinner but the average price of a bottle is โ‚ฌ12.

Views from your balcony or terrace will be over the mountains or ocean, and the hotel has inside and outside pools, plus a spa. El Galeon is within walking distance of the pretty capital Santa Cruz. It features a terrace with lovely sea views. The availability of accommodation in La Palma is limited, so the hotels listed above are subject to change.
