El Cafe de Don Manuel (Santa Cruz de la Palma)

Run by award-winning barista Rayco Rodriguez, El Cafe de Don Manuel offers up some of the best brews on the island (and, arguably, all of Spain) in its compact courtyard just off Calle O'Daly. Try the signature barraquito - a coffee with milk, cinnamon, and citrus undertones. Seating is limited but worth the wait.

Cafes

Canary Islands' signature coffee is known as "barraquito" – a sweet concoction containing a shot of espresso, condensed and regular milk, and, typically, a few drops of Cuarenta y Tres – a Spanish liquor made with 43 ingredients (hence the name), such as fruit juices, herbs, and vanilla extract. Some establishments work with actual citrus shavings and put their own spin on the iconic classic. To savour a top-notch cup of coffee, try Cafe de Don Manuel in Santa Cruz, which is run by an award-winning barista, or head uphill to one of the island's hillside panoramic terrace bars for a snack with a view.
