We had a good lunch and enjoyed our stay in this small but cozy place next to the church.
The church was closed when we arrived and eager to eat a bite before siesta time, we fell for some food. a small bar with a few locals at the bar, we were offered immediately to taste the freshly made meat. paella of the friendly barmann. the paella was tasty and the pizza ordered by my other half filled his appetit. not much spanish is spoken on our side, apart from the standard dos caffes con leche and not much English on their, but we could easily understand each other. the personal tries to rejoice and it was a pleasant experience.
We arrived in Arucas around mid-day with the intention of visiting the gothic church and wandering around the streets of the old town. The church was closed, so we spent time looking at the wonderful exterior, which from what we have read, is far more...interesting than the interior. By this time we were feeling hungry and walked over to El Gotico, a bar opposite the church. There were several locals standing drinking and eating tapas at the bar. It was sunny and quite warm, so we sat outside and from the menu we ordered prawns in garlic and a plate of fried fish. The friendly barman soon brought us wine, water and bread and it wasn`t long before our food was served. This place is quite unpretentious; serving good, tasty food without the frills, at very reasonable prices. So often, eateries beside the main tourist attraction are tourist traps – this is certainly not. The bill for the food, wine and water came to € 26. Arucas is well worth a visit. After lunch we wandered around the old town and visited the rum distillery, after which we drove up to the top of the nearby hill from which there are spectacular views.
We had a late lunch here of chipirones (small griddled squids) and pork, with chips and a side salad. Everything was good and very filling. The service was friendly, and the position was pretty, in the shadow of the neo gothic church of San Juan...Bautista, completed in 1978. Our food, including two beers cost a reasonable €24. Arucas is a pretty town with its church, tidy park, rum distillery and what appears to be a fair amount of well justified civic pride.
