Duration
1 h

Along the El Agua road there are stands blending fresh coconut with ice and condensed milk. It is sweet, freezing and addictive, and you order it through the car window without getting out. There are versions with passion fruit, with rum, and with everything at once, but the plain coconut one is what you try first.

Details being confirmed. We are finalising this card with the local operators before publishing it in full.
