We travelled from San Miguel in Tenerife to Los Cristianos early by bus to enable us to have lunch before our ferry left for La Gomera. We had booked a room at the Parador Conde de la Gomera.

The promenade at Los Cristianos goes a long way and it is full of restaurants of all kinds and an endless stream of mobility scooters doing the circuit. The latest trend being tandem scooters!
This port has become popular with people who don't want to walk and don't want to put on a shirt for lunch! At the port harbour we had purchased our tickets with the Fred Olsen high speed Ferry and even better saw that for one euro we could leave our luggage in the lockers which would be taken over with us, a brilliant idea!
We wanted to try the Fishermans' Cooperative known as Cofradia de Pescadores, for lunch, but knew it may be hard to find, it was!
So ignore the sea front restaurants and walk to what looks like a harbour master's square block building, right among the fishing boats in the harbour where the ferry comes in.
There are no signs, but walk to the back and you find a stair case which looks like stairs to a public convenience. At the top you find a small restaurant and bar, with a superb ice counter of freshly caught fish from earlier that day. The tables are covered with navigation maps.
here you have a commanding view to watch the ferry arrive.
Little english is spoken but everyone is friendly. You point to the fish you want and the barmaid weighs it in front of you for your approval. Then proceeds to gut and then cook it for you.
I loved it here, we had a huge plate of the freshest prawns and a delicious mackerel to share, an extremely authentic and cheap meal, then wondered over to board our ferry.
