I can’t recommend Wapa Tapa ENOUGH! We had eight different tapas and four different desserts. Everything tasted perfect. They normally ask for a reservation a day upfront over WhatsApp, so keep that in mind.

    A least half of the appeal of Las Palmas for remote workers and digital nomads is rooted in this community. It’s the best I’ve seen so far in terms of how well it is organised, structured and nurtured. It offers excellent opportunities to meet new people and explore the island.
