Dedo de Dios
Around Agaete the coast takes on a sterner countenance than further north. From the jetty you can see the stump of the Dedo de Dios, a basalt monolithic rock that was a serious tourist attraction until it took a tumble in a 2005 hurricane. Take a look at the photos outside its namesake restaurant.

Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción
Just in from the beach is the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción. Built in 1874, it is strikingly Mediterranean in style. Inside are two parts of a 16th-century Flemish triptych by Joos van Cleve. The centre panel is preserved in the nearby chapel, Ermita de las Nieves.

Cofradía de Pescadores
Next to the port, with an outdoor terrace, you can dine on catch-of-the-day along with the fishermen - and there's no better recommendation than that. Try the speciality, fritura de pescado (lightly fried seafood), or one of 30 tapas para picar (to taste).

Restaurante Las Nasas
There's a great atmosphere in this former warehouse with its old-fashioned black-and-white interior, jolly model boats, high ceilings and a small walled terrace overlooking the ocean. It's also usually the busiest along this seafood strip; a good sign.

Restaurante Dedo de Dios
A cavernous restaurant hung with ferns in a lovely old building overlooking the beach and the rocky remains of the poor old Dedo. It fills up with large, boisterous families at weekends and has a vast menu of mainly fish and seafood dishes.

Restaurante el Cápita
A slightly smarter proposition than some, with a reasonable menú del día. The fresh fish dishes can't be faulted, though the service may see you twiddling your thumbs when it's crowded.
