Local Flavors You Can Taste in Climbo Tour

When you join a Climbo Tour, you’re not just signing up for incredible views and epic hikes — you’re stepping into the soul of Gran Canaria. And here, the soul isn’t just in the landscapes. It’s in the food.

At Climbo, we believe that food is one of the most powerful ways to tell a story. It carries tradition, culture, and identity in every bite. And trust us — the stories Gran Canaria has to tell are delicious.

So come hungry, not just for adventure, but also for the local flavors of Gran Canaria. Here’s a little taste of what you might try if you join a Climbo tour.

1. Canarian Cheeses: A Bite of Island Heritage

Cheese in Gran Canaria is more than just a snack: it’s tradition and culture. Made with goat, sheep, or cow’s milk (sometimes all three!), Canarian cheeses are known for their intense character and unique textures.

On many of our tours, you’ll find semi-cured or smoked cheeses. You can also try original combinations like Teror chorizo cheese or Indian prickly pear cheese… Delicious!

Pair it with a sip of Honey Rum (more info below!) for an unparalleled sweet and savory combination.

2. Almond Specialties: Sweet Stories from the Mountains

Almonds are one of the hidden treasures of rural Gran Canaria. In towns like Tejeda, the almond harvest produces some of the island’s most beloved sweets:

Almogrote: An almond paste with cheese, garlic, and oil: a delicious spread ideal for spreading on bread.
Almonds come in a variety of flavors: caramelized, with gofio, and much more.

These are the flavors you’ll find in local markets, cafes, and even during a tasting at one of our stops. A nut you’ll enjoy in every bite.

3. Ron Miel: The Island’s Golden Elixir

If there’s one thing that warms the heart after a good hike or canyon descent, it’s a small glass of Ron Miel – Gran Canaria’s honey rum.

Made by blending aged rum with local honey, it’s smooth, sweet, and very easy to drink. Most of our tours offer a tasting of this delicious product.

Warning: One sip and you might want to take a bottle home.

4. Mojo Picón: Small Sauce, Big Personality

Mojo is a classic of Canarian cuisine and a beloved part of Climbo’s culinary culture. Whether spread on wrinkled potatoes or served with fresh bread at a local restaurant, this sauce (red or green) adds flavor and personality to every meal.

Don’t hesitate to order a second serving. Your palate will thank you.

5. Eco-Farm Products: Taste the Land, Sustainably

One of the most beautiful stops on The Rainforest Tour is a visit to an eco-farm in the Doramas Forest. Here, local farmers grow fruits, vegetables, herbs, and more using sustainable methods.

You’ll enjoy:

Organic fruit tastings under the trees: mangoes, avocados…
A firsthand look at how island agriculture works — respectfully and responsibly

It’s not just a tasting — it’s a connection to the land and the people who care for it.

In Every Bite, a Story

The flavors you’ll experience with Climbo are not just ingredients — they’re memories, traditions, and identities.

So next time you’re on tour with us, say yes to the cheese, the mojo, the almond nougat. Take the sip of Ron Miel. Let your adventure be full — not just of views and hikes, but of stories you can taste.

Because at Climbo, the island doesn’t just speak to you — it feeds you.
