The food there is ordinary, Spanish, except that they cook potatoes in a special way, called Canarian potatoes, or shriveled potatoes. In our opinion, it's just a baked potato)))
They cook delicious fish, all kinds of marine reptiles. In general, the food there is cheap and delicious.
From souvenirs? ... Well, generally speaking, nothing special. There is a volcanic-themed shop on the Teide volcano, everywhere in Tenerife there are quality shoes and clothes in stores. A good watch, the children bought me real Boss, with a passport and a certificate, much cheaper than ours, 2 and a half times.
Yes, my ladies bought some flamenco dresses there (such a dance), now I'm waiting for them to dance for me)))

I agree with the above about the cuisine: seafood in all its manifestations is the strong point of the island. (rapana, shrimps, fish). From local delicacies: try sauces - Salsa verde, salsa roja ... with these sauces they cook meat and the same seafood. They are sold in supermarkets both in liquid form and in powder form (they just need to be diluted with olive oil). From souvenirs: crafts from volcanic rocks - a black porous structure (caskets, figurines, plates, etc.), there is also a local mineral, it is of a pale green color (they also say it is of volcanic origin) there are a lot of beads, earrings, artificial trees, etc. .d., cosmetics from aloe vera (creams, milk-inexpensive, and of high quality), a lot of clay products-pay attention to the figure of a seated woman (reminiscent of the shape of a bottle with a wide bottom), she is usually brown in color - this is a symbol of fertility, well-being , wines are often dry, we bought - drink Sangria (produced by Don Simon), easy to drink, but insidiously knocks you down, local liquors (banana, citrus, apple), be sure to locally produced rum with honey (Rom con Miel) , and Canarian cigars they are sold in tobacco shops.

in continuation: a lot of textiles with embroidery - tablecloths, napkins, aprons, handbags, etc., leather goods - for example, a bag for wine, try the Orchata drink (it is sold in supermarkets in the milk department or bars, if I'm not mistaken, this is sugar milk cane, a little specific-tart, but very well quenches thirst.Regarding potatoes, they are not baked in a dry form, they are boiled-baked in very salty water, so that all the water evaporates and salt crystals remain on the peel.Quality clothes and shoes, perfumes- sometimes cheaper than in duty free ... I recommend to see if the holidays take place around the island during the days of your trip - the Spaniards know how to have fun and show all the flavor + fairs are open where you can buy something interesting ... at the end of May, Canary Islands Day, and on June 12-15, in the town of Orotava, they make ornamental carpets of flowers along all the streets ...

if you want to get to a good restaurant, watch where the locals go, usually it's crowded and sometimes it can be nondescript, but there should be good food. Because most restaurants in the resort area are designed for tourists and sometimes the cuisine suffers.
