La Orotava

Step into the timeless elegance of La Orotava, the most beautiful colonial town in northern Tenerife, where grand Canarian mansions with intricate wooden balconies and colorful courtyards line the historic streets, the majestic Iglesia de la Concepción rises with its twin towers and baroque façade overlooking the valley, and the lush Jardines Victoria and Hacienda de Oramas gardens burst with tropical plants, fountains, and panoramic views over the Orotava Valley and Mount Teide in the distance. Wander the charming Plaza del Ayuntamiento with its 19th-century Town Hall and the famous Casa de los Balcones (House of Balconies) with its museum of traditional Canarian crafts, explore the hidden patios and artisan workshops, or simply relax in the peaceful atmosphere of a town that perfectly balances rich colonial heritage, lush subtropical gardens, and warm Canarian hospitality just 30 minutes from Puerto de la Cruz.

Savor fresh papas arrugadas with mojo verde, tender cabra en salsa (goat stew), sweet bienmesabe dessert, and crisp Tenerife white wines amid flower-filled balconies, mountain breezes, and the unmistakable rhythm of a place where time slows to the pace of classic Canarian life.

La Orotava isn’t just a destination—it’s Tenerife’s most elegant colonial treasure of balconies, gardens, and timeless charm—plan your La Orotava escape today!
