Its name, "La Almena," evokes this connection with the history of the place, transporting visitors to a setting where culture and tradition are an essential part of the experience.
The menu features homemade stews, grilled meats, fresh fish from the north coast, and signature side dishes from the island's cuisine, such as papas arrugadas con mojo (wrinkled potatoes with mojo sauce), gofio (gofio), and stews. All prepared simply but with respect for its roots, just like any Canarian family kitchen.
The atmosphere is warm and friendly, with a direct approach that makes diners feel at home. This closeness is one of La Almena de San Miguel's greatest assets: beyond the food, it offers an experience where hospitality and a deep connection to tradition take center stage.
Ultimately, La Almena de San Miguel is a restaurant designed for those who want to experience Garachico not only through its historical and architectural richness, but also through the essence of its most authentic flavors.

Ciclismo - Ruta 1
One of the most spectacular cycling routes in northern Tenerife: the circular route that starts in Garachico and climbs toward Erjos, passes through Santiago del Teide, descends the winding Masca ravine, and returns along the coast through Buenavista. Volcanic landscapes, pine forests, hairpin bends, and views of the Atlantic make this demanding route a classic for cyclists seeking both physical challenge and natural beauty.
