El Palomar is inserted in a grape and wine zone with excellent vineyards, such as Arraez, whose wines seem to dominate the list here. No problem!

The house dessert was a cascade of different kinds of cheesecakes, served with a flourish and a giant sweet crisp of some kind. In fact most of the dishes were presented with edible paraphernalia like rice paper.
