Must-try dishes
Goat meat
Chickpeas
Fried chicken
When you step into Tasca Taguara in Ifonche, what you love most is the welcoming atmosphere that permeates everything: from the initial greeting to the moment you sit down and look at the menu. The restaurant has the feel of a traditional tavern, offering uncomplicated Spanish and Canarian cuisine, where the honest flavor of each dish takes center stage.
Here you won't find forced modern touches, but rather dishes reminiscent of classic, home-style cooking. The menu typically features home-style recipes, expertly prepared meats, stews, and side dishes that pair perfectly with a glass of wine or a refreshing beer. The service is friendly and welcoming, making you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive—something that makes all the difference when I want a good meal at a leisurely pace.
The simple, unpretentious space invites you to linger, chat with friends, and savor each dish at your own pace. It's the kind of place that's usually bustling with locals and visitors who return because they know the food delivers on its promise: flavor, generous portions, and character. Furthermore, being located in a peaceful area like Ifonche/La Escalona, the experience goes beyond just the food; it's part of a rural or inland getaway to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace.
For me, Tasca Taguara works perfectly if you want to escape the tourist crowds and try well-prepared traditional dishes, accompanied by friendly and uncomplicated service. Here, you eat with gusto and without artifice, just as it's always been done, and that in itself is worthwhile.

Where to eat
Dulceria Hermano Pedro
If you're passing through Vilaflor and craving something truly sweet, this is one of those places you absolutely have to stop. At Dulcería Hermano Pedro, you'll find homemade pastries, freshly baked and bursting with traditional flavor. You can sit down for a coffee and a slice of cake or simply take some local sweets to go. It's a friendly, village-style place where the service and the quality of the products go hand in hand.
What to see
La Hoya
The hamlet of La Hoya, in San Miguel de Abona, is one of those places that helps you understand what life was like in southern Tenerife before tourism. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest as an Ethnological Site, it preserves traditional architecture, historic paths, water sources, and agricultural terraces in a rural setting that has changed very little over time.
Activities
FlyX Tenerife
If you're looking for a unique activity in southern Tenerife, FlyX is one of the most original options to have recently arrived on the island. It's not your typical 5D cinema, but an immersive experience that lets you "fly" over some of Tenerife's most spectacular landscapes using moving seats, sensory effects, and a large, wraparound screen. It's the perfect way to discover the island from a completely different perspective.
Beaches
Playa de los Cristianos Puerto
Los Cristianos Beach, next to the port of the same name, is one of the most iconic beaches in southern Tenerife. Protected from the waves by the pier, it offers calm waters and golden sand, perfect for swimming and strolling. From the shore, you can observe the activity of the fishing port and the departure of ferries to La Gomera, combining a local atmosphere with the maritime charm of a traditional coastal town.
Nightlife
King Of Judah Reggae Bar
If you're looking for a bar with its own unique personality in Los Cristianos, King of Judah Reggae Bar is probably one of the most distinctive you'll find. Here, everything revolves around reggae culture, handcrafted cocktails, and an atmosphere that feels more Caribbean than touristy. The music, the largely handmade decor, and the friendly service create a very special ambiance where it's easy to stay much longer than you planned.
Shopping
Dulcería Vilaflor
If you want to try truly traditional sweets from our island and you're in Vilaflor, this is the place to stop. At Dulcería Vilaflor, you'll find time-honored recipes, made by hand with natural ingredients. Almond cakes, rosquetes (ring-shaped pastries), and mantecados (shortbread cookies) with that old-fashioned flavor that's hard to find these days. It's a simple, village-style place where you can buy, taste, and quickly understand why they've been in business for so many years.
Sports
Parque de Calistenia
The Calistenia Park of Vilaflor also has many sports areas in Tenerife that can be used for: climbing the mountains and clear air at more than 1,400 meters in altitude. The installation is very easy, with the basics for a good routine of street workout, but the verdadero is attractive in the exercise. Aquí entrenas entre pinares y tranquilidad absolutea, en uno de los pueblos más altos de España y muy lejos del ambience urbano habitualo.
Trekking
Montaña Tejina
If you enjoy less crowded hiking in southern Tenerife, this circular route around Montaña de Tejina is a very complete option. You'll walk approximately 13 km around this large volcanic crag, over a thousand meters high, which was a sacred site and key center of social interaction for the Guanches. The route passes through ravines, ancient threshing floors, small hermitages, and traditional agricultural remains. There's hardly any shade, but in return, you'll have open panoramic views for much of the way and a constant sense of a rural, volcanic, and mystical landscape.
