Another chapter added to our culinary adventures! El Velero was an exceptionally inviting establishment. From the moment we approached, a friendly host greeted us with enthusiasm, eager to present the menu filled with tempting options. After much deliberation, we opted for the day's fresh catch, complemented by the traditional Canarian fish. The meal was nothing short of exquisite. Each bite of the fish was perfectly flaked and infused with a radiant seasoning that danced on our taste buds, making it a truly mouthwatering experience. El Velero not only succeeded in offering us delightful flavors but also created a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made our dining experience unforgettable.Thank you again!

Very delicious tapas plate. I strongly suggest you to try bacon-date rolls. I don’t remember its name but will never forget the taste and staff are very kind, they offered us nice liquor at the end.

We stopped here for a relaxing coffee and cake before walking along the beach and dunes to the lighthouse. A lovely bar/cafe with views overlooking the beach and very attentive staff. The apple cake was amazingly delicious and beautifully presented and for the price we paid for 2 and 2 coffees we felt we robbed them. The whole place was very clean including the toilets

Good portion size for a menu that costs 10.95€. Food tastes great. The atmosphere is good because it is right next to the beach. A lot of people passing by.
