  1. Club de Mar

    To learn more about whales and dolphins, contact the Club de Mar. This is both a marine-life investigation centre and a whale-watching outfitter with daily cruises that normally include the presence of a marine biologist, so that you can truly learn something about local marine life. All the cruises set sail from the Vueltas port.

  2. Tina

    The motorboat Tina cruises daily around the south and west of the island, towards Los Órganos, a weird rock formation visible only from the water. The day-long trip could include some spontaneous whale or dolphin watching, as well as a little tuna fishing.

    Restaurante El Palmar

    Hidden among banana trees, a stone's throw from the main highway, it would easy to drive right by the Palmar, so keep an eye out for the road sign. Both the food and the atmosphere are comfy and welcoming. Try the cazuela (thick fish stew) and be sure to have a chat with the friendly owner.

  12. Bar-Restaurante El Puerto

    Specialising in - what else? - fresh fish, this too-bright (the fluorescent lights lend it a bit of a fast-food air) place by the port is one of the best spots in town to try local delicacies such as grilled peto and medregal (local fish).
