What to See on a Tour to the Villa de La Orotava

Taking a La Orotava tour is to immerse yourself in the history of Tenerife’s noblest families. Its historic center, declared a Historic-Artistic Site, is one of the best-preserved in the Canary Islands and an essential visit on any tour of the north.

Casa de los Balcones and Traditional Architecture

The symbol of La Orotava and a masterpiece of Canarian craftsmanship:

• Visit the Casa de los Balcones (House of the Balconies), a 17th-century mansion with an impressive balcony and an interior courtyard made of carved tea-wood.
• Admire the many stately homes that dot the historic center, with their colorful facades and characteristic balconies.
• The architecture of La Orotava is the best example of the economic power the town held in past centuries.

Town Hall Square and the Flower Carpets

The epicenter of one of the most famous festivals in the Canary Islands:

• This enormous square becomes a canvas each year during the Corpus Christi festivities.
• Local artists create a giant tapestry using volcanic sands of different colors brought from Mount Teide.
• For the rest of the year, the streets of the historic center are adorned with carpets made of flowers and petals.

La Orotava in Island Tours

The most convenient way to visit the town:

• La Orotava is a key stop on many of the excursions that ascend Teide via the north face.
