Bar-Arepera El Encuentro

Santa Cruz de la Palma


Cheap and tasty, Venezuelan arepas (hot pockets made of corn or flour and filled with meat or cheese) and cachapas (stuffed corn pancakes) are an island staple. The setting is wonderful on a lovely shady square overlooking the historic Cruz de Tercero (1893) monument; service, however, can be slack or indifferent.
