Las Malvas Beach
Las Malvas Beach
Las Malvas beach, located in Tinajo, is a beach made up of sand and gravel, 180 metres long.
These areas, bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, are beaches with large rocks and cliffs not suitable for swimming.
The northern coastal areas of the municipality of Tinajo are traditionally used for recreational fishing with a rod and shellfish gathering of small univalve molluscs that grow attached to the rocks, such as limpets and burgados. Also crabs and sea urchins are appreciated by shellfish gatherers and used in traditional Canarian cuisine.
Las Lapas:
Lapas have a thick grey conical shell, an oval opening and numerous radial ribs. The inside of the shell is whitish and the maximum size reaches 11 cm. They are eaten as starters either raw, with a splash of lemon or, more commonly, grilled, on a frying pan, and presented to the table like this, accompanied by green mojo sauce.
Burgado:
Burgado, also known as periwinkle, is a sea snail that measures 2 to 3 centimetres. These little delicacies are ideal for a delicious vinaigrette, as they are prepared in traditional cuisine, or as an accompaniment to some slices of octopus, also in a good fish broth or in a salad.
