El Jardín de la Sal

A pleasant surprise both in terms of its cuisine and its secluded location next to the old Fuencaliente lighthouse, which is now an information centre for the La Palma marine reserve. Here, the modern take on traditional cuisine showcases local ingredients, in particular fish sourced daily (such as the typical Vieja and the red rock fish), which you can enjoy in an impressive themed space, plus a café upstairs boasting superb views. The outstanding backdrop here is the play of colours between the blue of the ocean, the black of the island’s volcanic landscapes, and the radiant whiteness of the surrounding salt pans, which have been declared a site of special scientific interest.
