Many restaurants on the island serve traditional dishes such as sopa de picadillo (chicken soup), carne de cochino con papas arrugadas y mojo (grilled pork with wrinkly jacket potatoes and bell pepper sauce), chicharrones (pork scratchings) or queso asado con mojo (grilled cheese) as starters or fish. Plus, cheese, desserts (Bienmesabe, Príncipe Alberto, almendrados, rapaduras) or wines labelled with the Denomination of Origin such as Malvasía, Albillo, vinos de tea.
