Almogaren

Top choice in Gran Canaria


Run by welcoming Carmen and Roberto, this delightful place is a very tasteful choice with a small courtyard, shafts of sunlight, a handful of tables, a sofa, a wind chime or two and a scattering of secondhand books. Grab a chilled beer (€1.50 to €2.30) from the fridge or line up a coffee. It acts as a crafts shop too.
