Local Insider Tips: Enjoy Cerveceria La Dorada in Tenerife like a pro
If you want your visit to be expert level, take note of these tips that only a local friend would give you:
- Take the Guagua: If you are staying in the south or in La Laguna, don't worry about a car. The guagua (bus) drops you off very close to the center, allowing you to enjoy a couple of rounds without worrying about driving.
- Order local "pica-pica": Don't just drink. Pair your beer with "papas arrugadas" (wrinkled potatoes) with mojo sauce or some grilled cheese. The pairing is spectacular!
- Try the special editions: At Cerveceria La Dorada in Tenerife, they often have varieties that are not easily found in supermarkets, such as seasonal editions or unfiltered versions. Always ask what's new on tap!
- The ideal time: Go in the late afternoon when the heat begins to drop. Sitting there watching the city relax is a simple luxury that is priceless.
- Combine it with culture: The brewery is near TEA (Tenerife Space of the Arts) and the Mercado de Nuestra Señora de África. It is the perfect end to a morning of cultural sightseeing.

Dorada has won numerous international awards (such as the World Beer Awards), and at Cerveceria La Dorada in Tenerife, you will understand why. The water used comes from the galleries of our mountains, giving it a purity and flavor that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.
