Definitely recommend a visit here and learn more about the local history. It’s quite small so you won’t need more than 30 minutes, unless you plan to buy something at the gift store.

Built back in 1632, this charming house once belonged to a wealthy family and is a perfect example of traditional Canarian architecture. Its famous carved wooden balconies are a true symbol of La Orotava — you just can’t miss them. Today, it’s a museum where you can step into the everyday life of people from the 17th to 19th centuries. I was pleasantly surprised by how many rooms there are and how carefully everything has been preserved. Each corner is full of little details — from the bedroom and dining room to the vintage bathroom and kitchen, which especially caught my eye. Walking through the house, you just want to slow down and take in every piece — from the furniture to the smallest decorations. The visit takes about 30 minutes, but these half an hour will take you on a real journey back in time. If you’re ever in La Orotava — I highly recommend stopping by! By the way, the balconies here are more than just beautiful. In traditional Canarian architecture, balconies helped protect homes from the sun and rain, served as spaces for socializing, and even reflected the family’s status. That’s why they’re so elaborate and iconic — they truly define the character of this house and the city. Plus — it’s such a photogenic spot! From the detailed woodwork to the charming old rooms and cozy courtyard, this place is perfect if you’re looking for unique and atmospheric photos.

The Casa de los Balcones, located in the historic center of La Orotava, Tenerife, is an architectural jewel of the seventeenth century that stands out for its elaborate carved wood balconies and its charming interior patio. Built in 1632, this manor house houses a museum that offers an authentic vision of the life of the noble families of the time, with rooms decorated with original furniture and exhibitions of traditional Canarian handicrafts, such as calados and embroidery. In addition, it has craft workshops in operation and a store where you can buy local products. It is an essential visit for those who wish to immerse themselves in the history and culture of Tenerife.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ La Casa de los Balcones is a beautiful step back in time. This 17th-century Canarian mansion is famous for its carved wooden balconies, but what really makes it special is how it shows life in Tenerife centuries ago. Inside, you can walk through rooms furnished as they would have been in the past, see traditional crafts, and get a feel for how wealthy families lived here. Built in 1632, the house belonged to the Méndez-Fonseca family and later became a symbol of La Orotava’s rich cultural heritage. Today it’s part museum, part cultural center, with exhibitions of Canarian embroidery, traditional costumes, and everyday tools. The courtyard filled with plants is stunning, and the craftsmanship in the woodwork is incredible. It’s not a long visit, but it’s a must if you’re in La Orotava. For a small entrance fee, you leave with a real sense of Tenerife’s history and traditions, and it’s a great complement to exploring the town’s old streets.

Beautiful building in the heart of La Orotava and at only €6 per person entry well worth it. Scan the bar code upon entry for a free online tour with descriptions of all rooms and there are descriptions on the wall outside each room in Spanish and English. They also have a shop selling local artisan goods as well as postcards etc. As La Oratava is only 15 minutes by bus from Puerto de la Cruz and only €1.45 per person each way it would be a shame not to visit.

A very cozy, ancient place. Immerse yourself in the past and see the life of the 18th century.

Although we didn't have time to visit the museum, the building itself is impressive from the road side

The gardens were created by order of the La Marquesa de Quinta Roja, Doña Sebastiana del Castillo. While planning a burial site for her relatives, she discovered that her son, Diego Ponte del Castillo, could not be interred in the family pantheon due to his associations with Freemasonry. As a result, she decided to design an alternative burial site for her son — a beautiful garden boasting a magnificent view of the city, complete with a mausoleum at the very top. The project was undertaken by the French architect Adolph Coquet. The gardens feature a terraced structure comprising seven levels, adorned with various flower beds and fountains. At the summit, there is a mausoleum made of white marble, supported by eight Corinthian columns. The doors of the mausoleum bear the letter omega. Over time, additional symbols of Freemasonry have appeared throughout the gardens. There are also claims that the layout of the gardens holds specific significance, but this remains uncertain. Interestingly, the mausoleum was never used for its intended purpose. During my visit, the gardens were not very blooming and it was generally cloudy, so as for me the place was not very beautiful. But after reading the story, I became interested. I read that this place is a symbol of disobedience to church rules. So I think if you're walking around, to come and to visit this place it is not a bad idea.

Perfect place to see some well maintained gardens and amazing views. Definitely worth the visit. There’s also some really cool museums in the area

Beautiful gardens open to the public to visit. At the highest point is a mausoleum of historical interest. Fantastic views of La Orotava from this viewpoint. Well worth a visit, especially as free to enter.

Lovely garden with view over the city up to the see front , you can see Puerto de La Cruz and as well mont Teide. Very well kept and maintain . We enjoyed a cup of coffee at the entrance . There is not shade so put sun cream

Remarkable and stunning. Such a peaceful place to walk around with great views all the way to the ocean

Nice old town, interesting colonial architecture.

A beautiful landscaped victorian garden overlooking some of the town with coastal views. The metal entry gates are ornate. Lots of gravel walkways, colourful flowers and bushes. Some of the pathways have mosaics. Their are some lovely water features to sit, watch and listen to on the benches. Their are steps up to the highest point where the views are the best. The garden in very neat and tidy and well maintained. Their is a cafe on site too

A decent shopping mall with a lot of chains like ritual, pull and bear, oysho. Free parking. Good place to take your teenage daughter on a rainy day

Hidden at the top of Puerto it should not be missed if shopping is your Forte. Great selection of decent up market retailers and many eateries . Massive parking facilities so parking is no problem . Massive in door area if weather takes a turn for the worse.

Loved the mall.It was super posh had all the designer shops and cute cafes around.Had great time with family.

Lovely range of shops here and doesn't take long by bus

Brilliant variety in shops. KFC, McDonald's and a few other food outlets. A supermarket inside which is handy. In a very handy location too.

The best shopping mall in Tenerife with a huge supermarket. Nice shops, good quality. Food corner could have a bit more variety. Definitely worth a visit.

Great place to go shopping very well maintained

Spent 45 minutes in here, could have spent maybe another 30 reading every interactive digital screen. Audio is in Spanish (why no subtitles??) but the displays are very well-written and informative. You lean about the flora and fauna, the volcano etc. Very interesting, especially the part about the volcano. A must if you are visiting El Teide National Park Free entrance

What a wonderful experience! This is much more than a visitor centre. It is a multimedia museum with variety information about Tenerife and Teide on 3 floors. Highly recommended!

Really well done visitors experience, is nice and clean, with well thought out displays and info. Also has an interesting small cinema film about the island and volcano.

Highly informative about the early explorers to Tenerife. Focus on flora and fauna also volcanoes. Excellent facilty- well worth a visit. The town of La Orotavia is a charming place with some buildings having the lovely carved balconies, typical of the Canaries. This style of building comes from the Spanish settlers who decided to build a grand colonial town here as there are many water springs on the hillsides. Crafts - such as embroidery,pottery etc plentiful. Excellent place.

If you want to go to Mt Teide, you should visit this place first. Marvelous exhibition about Tenerife’s fauna and flora plus lot of geological informations.

Highly recommended! It's a complete multimedia museum about Tenereife, its history, geology, flora and fauna. Extremely interesting and it's free.

When we visited this place we expected a visitor center and got a museum! They have created a wonderful and unbelievably modern exhibition about Tenerife, its flora and fauna as well as history. The architecture of its exhibition rooms is amazing and even though it's small, it's very creative and features, for example, a little tunnel inside a volcano. If you're in La Orotava, you should stop by!

Very pretty church! Don't miss it if visiting La Laguna. We were a bit disappointed that it was closed though!

Beautiful church and used in the filming of Frauds unfortunately they charge to enter which personally don’t agree with, but church is beautiful

There has been a small church here since the Conquista at the end of the 15th century. A second church was built in the 16th century on the same site. The current building, which has been granted the category of National Monument, was built in the 18th century after the Güímar earthquakes. The façade is one of the most interesting baroque portals of the Canary Islands. Let's pause for a moment to admire the church's exterior. Note the curved façade that divides the temple's naves and the elegant stone portal. The clock and bell towers arise in the background. Together, the façade and the towers accentuate the church's verticality, projecting a sense of roundness and elevation. A sensation of movement is added with the serpentine cornice and the curve that forms the three naves. The impressive gargoyles influenced by medieval bestiaries and Native American sculptures also accentuate the sensation of movement, unease and unrest.

Comparatively to Tenerife, it is a very large and unique church, compared to other churches in Europe, it is quite "ordinary". It is one of the special attractions in Ortoba and worth spending a few minutes to visit, of course Christians could always pray here

Since it was Ash Wednesday and I had a very short time in the city, because of my flight, I decided to stop by a church to pray since I could not make it to a full mass. Upon entering, two women informed me there was a €2 fee. While not much, I found it odd to pay to pray. They calmly explained the policy, I was willing regardless to pay, but then they claimed I wasn’t really there to pray—an unnecessary and rude judgment. They suggested other churches around instead. Visitors should be treated with respect, without assumptions. This is not the welcoming Catholic Church I know.

Nice baroque church in la orotava. Definitely worth a visit if your in la orotava.

A gorgeous church with unique features and history. HOWEVER, the real thing you need to look out for is the little door over to the right of the altar. At certain times of day you can pass through this door and into the Museum of Treasures, which is BRILLIANT. We happened upon it just as we were on our way to the airport, but I'm so glad we had a bit of time to spare, because the guide locked the door and took us on a ravishing trip around the unseen treasures of the building; through hidden doors and up winding stairs. The collection of vestments is particularly fabulous, where you can get right up and see the sequins and detail. Also the room of sculptures where you learn about shifting tastes and protocol around the iconography. The guide (I'm so sorry I don't remember her name) was knowledgeable (way beyond just the collection she was showing us), personable, funny and gregarious. We had the best time and would recommend it in a heartbeat. Thank you!

In the heart of the historic center of La Orotava, Casa Lercaro is a 17th century manor house, with a beautiful garden. The restaurant is wonderful with very delicious food. Everything what we eat was very delicious. The only negative thing was the service, which was very slow.

The Monteverde house is a building with a late renaissance façade that was built in the late 17th century. It has always belonged to the Monteverdes, a family of Italian merchants who settled in the 17th century in La Orotava and in other points of the islands such as Las Palmas and La Laguna. They never lost their connection to Italy, and from there they imported the tradition of flower carpets in the mid-19th century. Three women of the Monteverde family designed geometric shapes with wine barrel rings that they filled with flower petals to honour the passage of the Corpus Christi procession. The original design of this first flower carpet is the one that appears in the glass window in front of this house, and in the Homage to the Flower Carpet Maker sculpture. Today, the entire Corpus Christi procession is covered with flower carpets made by the people of La Orotava. Right next to where you are, you can see Lercaro house on the same pavement. This late 17th-century manor house was originally linked to the Ponte family, descendants of a Genoese banker who invested in the conquest. Since the land distribution, his heirs have held the noble title of Marquises of Quinta Roja. This building was originally a private house. Due to its large size, its original use was subsequently combined with a warehouse and even a tobacco drying house. A standout feature is the carpentry work, especially on the four balconies. Look at the sgraffito designs that frame the doors and windows. Sgraffito is a decoration technique that creates a sense of volume, using two successive layers to reveal patterns by scratching through the surface layer. This property includes a disused mill, the last of a line of them up the street, along the water channel that flowed here. From this point, the water was used to irrigate the farming plots. At the end of the 19th century, a tannery that supplied La Orotava's shoe and hat makers operated in the back of this house.

Delicious food, friendly service, superb atmosphere in a chill garden, great value for money

Wonderful Octopus dish. Brownie dessert clinched the spot of the best restaurant in Tenerife. It was light and not too sweet. View was one of the best I had in a Tenerife’s restaurant. Waitress was there whenever I turned my head. Unexpectedly great food in the middle of a small city.

Lovely rustic venue. The waitress was very kind and pretty! The food was tasty. Would definitely return.

Absolutely amazing experience, great service, great food - from the simple Spanish classics to the complex and unexpected dishes. Unique setting in a beautiful garden. A must visit.

Wonderful experience of grand past times in a gorgeous setting, this is how a REAL restaurant looks like. Good food is served as well, fresh and unpretentious. Feels just like you visit your rich oncle in Tenerife. Not that I would know ... hahaha

Call before you go!! Was closed at 14.00.

Ok

Big old church that still maintains the atmosphere of an old town church

(Translated by Google) As many have already described, I can only say that it's ideal for meditation and reflection. Very peaceful, with Gregorian chant in the background and peaceful wooden ceilings. In short, it's worth a visit. (Original) Cómo ya muchos la han descrito, me queda decir que para meditar y reflexionar es ideal, muy tranquila, con música gregoriana de fondo, techos de madera que dan paz.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church that, in its day, belonged to a convent complex belonging to the Augustinian order until the confiscation, by Royal Decree of 1837, which authorized the government to allocate the suppressed convent buildings to public utility establishments, although it should be noted that at this point, the community of Augustinian monks was practically extinct, the convent becoming a Town Hall and the church becoming dependent on the parish of Santa Catherine of Alexandria Martyr. Towards the middle of the 17th century, the square convent was built around a central courtyard, two stories high with thick whitewashed walls, and the interior cloister with a double colonnaded gallery on its four fronts. The current sanctuary of Cristo de los Dolores was built around the year 1664. Around this time, master Domingo Rodríguez was working on the construction of the naves of the church of Santa Catalina. It is not strange that he was hired to build the new church of the convent of San Agustín. The church has a basilica plan with three naves with its roofs closed by a single roof, four sections, a rectangular main chapel and sacristy with direct access to the presbytery and the convent cloister. In the elevation, the pseudo-Doric columns rest on a cubic base, smooth shaft and abacus with a projecting profile; Four modillions in the corners, with the character of corbels, establish the passage from the capital to the abacus, from which the semicircular arches start, turned with moldings on the front and on the intrados. At the foot of the church, the arches are reduced and the half-rounds of the columns are attached to the filler wall. Above the three naves of this first section is the high choir, which is entered through the upper gallery of the convent. At the entrance to the presbytery, the columns with dead flutes stand out, the abacus thickens and, above it, a piece of entablature is placed, as in the baroque of the Andalusian cathedrals. The walls are whitewashed, except for the main façade, which is carved in stone. (Original) Preciosa iglesia que, en su día, perteneció a un conjunto conventual perteneciente a la orden de los agustinos hasta la desamortización, por Real decreto de 1837, que autorizaba al gobierno para destinar a establecimientos de utilidad pública los edificios conventos suprimidos, aunque hay que señalar que a estas alturas, la comunidad de monjes agustinos estaba prácticamente extinta, convirtiéndose el convento en Casa Consistorial y la iglesia pasó a depender de la parroquia de Santa Catalina de Alejandría Mártir. Hacia mediados del siglo XVII se edificó el convento de planta cuadrada en torno a un patio central, alzado de dos pisos con gruesos muros encalados, y el claustro interior de doble galería columnada en sus cuatro frentes. El actual santuario del Cristo de los Dolores se construyó hacia el año 1664. Por estas fechas, el maestro Domingo Rodríguez estaba trabajando en la construcción de las naves de la iglesia de Santa Catalina. No es extraño que se le contratase para hacer la nueva iglesia del convento de San Agustín. La iglesia tiene planta basilical de tres naves con sus cubiertas cerradas por un solo tejado, cuatro tramos, capilla mayor rectangular y sacristía con acceso directo al presbiterio y al claustro conventual. En el alzado, las columnas pseudodóricas descansan sobre basamento cúbico, fuste liso y ábaco de perfil saliente; cuatro modillones en las esquinas, con carácter de ménsulas, establecen el paso del capitel al ábaco, del que arrancan los arcos de medio punto, volteados con molduras en el frente y en el intradós. A los pies de la iglesia, se reducen los arcos y las medias cañas de las columnas se adosan a la pared de relleno. Sobre las tres naves de este primer tramo se sitúa el coro alto, al que se entra por la galería superior del convento. En la entrada al presbiterio, se resaltan las columnas con estrías muertas, el ábaco se engrosa y, sobre él, se coloca un trozo de entablamento, como en el barroco de las catedrales andaluzas. Los muros van encalados, excepto la fachada principal, labrada en piedra.

The carving of the Tacorontero Christ is attributed to the sculptor Domingo de Rioja, being a carving from the 17th century, it is the second most venerated Christ in the Canary Archipelago after the Holy Christ of La Laguna. The ceilings and coffered ceilings are truly typical Canarian beauty from that time. You breathe silence, peace and harmony. Full of flowers for your festive moment, everything is placed in great detail. (Original) Ubicado en el casco histótico de Tacoronte una gran plaza peatonal.

High recommend stopping in La Orotava before or after hiking the volcano. Beautiful place!

Nice town hall nowadays in these festive days decorated with “BIG SANDY CARPETS”: A MUST TO BE VISITED!!

The town hall is impressive and beautiful, in my opinion the most impressive we have seen on the island.

Impressive

Beautiful architecture!👍

An oasis of beauty, history and silance. Discover fantastic flora of bothanical garden created in 1788. We loved it.

Lovely exotic plants garden. Entrance is free, and seeing the famous dragon tree was fantastic . Entrance was free

Beautiful garden with incredible flowers and a turtle named Simon. We go here every day!

I want to thank you, the staff of the botanical garden, "those hands"🫶 who take care of flowers. Although the garden is not at all big, you can sit down, relax and enjoy beauty. I like Clivia nobilis, Strelitzia reginal, Ensete ventricosum. Thanks!🤩🌼🌴

A lovely, pretty little botanical garden next door to the victorian garden. Most of the plants are labelled and packed with colourful flowers, shrubs and trees. Their are some seats to rest on and the foot paths are mostly flat but beware of some trees roots in places. Their is a big fish pond at the top. Apparently most of the specimens came from cutting /seeds etc from the botanical gardens in Puerto de la Cruz. Entry is free and it is definitely worth a visit.

Nice walk in tiny botanical garden in a heart of historical Orotava, even in a winter time. Free access, no fee, couple of benches to rest or to look up to giants (trees)

This area was designed over the old garden of the Clarisas Convent. The extension was conceived in the last third of the 19th century as a nursery for the Botanical Garden in Puerto de la Cruz, although most of the species planted here have remained. The extension is a haven of peace, which is unusual in La Orotava's historical centre. It houses a unique compendium of plant species, thanks to its special conditions that make it conducive to acclimatisation. Most of the plants are of tropical origin, both African and American. It’s also home to some really unusual plants for these latitudes such as the Roxburgh fig of the Himalayas. You’ll also find one of the most impressive dragon-trees in La Orotava today. The extension is home to numerous birds, and a short walk through it will open your senses to a wealth of songs and plant and flower fragrances. Take a moment to enjoy and then head towards the town hall to discover its art collections.

e laundry rooms, that you’ll find on your left as soon as you start the ascent up Calle Doctor Domingo González García. There were up to five public laundry rooms in La Orotava. The only one that is preserved is known as the San Francisco laundry room, which dates from the 16th century. To wash the clothes, a ditch was diverted from the main water channel that supplied the mills. The old main ditch, where laundry was communally washed, was replaced in the 1940s by twenty-four individual pools with their own pumps. Twenty years later, the use of these laundries was abandoned due to the supply of running water in homes. The current area was recently restored to serve as an example of the cultural heritage of the washerwoman's trade and the use of water in La Orotava. Laundry work was traditionally carried out by females. It was here that maids, humble housewives and washerwomen washed clothes together. They used to sing together while they washed. This was one of the very few opportunities for women to have a social life. It was exclusively a female place, although they often had to protect themselves from the gaze of the men who would spy on them from the window of the mill. From the late 18th century on, women were forced to clear away from the area every afternoon, since the laundry room became a sort of casino for men, where they would drink wine and play cards.

We walked up to the old laundry, very uphill so would not bother if mobility is poor. Their was not any information about the place except for lovely old photos along the back of stone washbasins, which was a bit disappointing. You could clearly see where the water ran downhill to be used. They was some seats to sit in the sun and rest

(Translated by Google) The Laundries in La Orotava are part of the water culture in La Villa de La Orotava. Where in the past, the washerwomen washed using the water that came out of the overflow of the gofio mill above. This is located above the Plaza de San Francisco. It has been fully rehabilitated and declared B.I.C. (asset of cultural interest) in 2004. (Original) Los Lavaderos en La Orotava, forman parte de la cultura del agua en La Villa de La Orotava. Donde antiguamente, las lavanderas, lavaban utilizando el agua que salía del rebosadero del molino de gofio que está por encima. Éste se encuentra por encima de la plaza de San Francisco. Ha sido completamente rehabilitado y declarado B.I.C. (bien de interés cultural) en 2004.

(Translated by Google) A place to go through and learn how people from before used to wash clothes. It is curious that the water that was used here, before arriving, was used to move a water mill, which moved a stone with which the cereals were ground to make gofio. Just in the building above there is a store where you can buy gofio. (Original) Un lugar por donde pasar y conoce cómo lavaban la ropa las personas de antes. Es curioso que el agua que se usaba aquí, antes de llegar servía para mover un molino de agua, que movía una piedra con el cual se molía los cereales para hacer gofio. Justo la edificación que está arriba está una tienda donde se puede comprar el gofio.

Nice town hall nowadays in these festive days decorated with “BIG SANDY CARPETS”: A MUST TO BE VISITED!!

Beautiful architecture!👍

Great beach. The sand is a deep black with sparkling bits and very fine and pleasant. There are two areas, one smaller next to the stairs and one bigger further north. The bigger part is used both b6 naturists and by surfers and it has a very chill vibe. You can reach this places from where Google maps tells you, just ignore the naysayers. From the road, look for some stairs going down to the dry riverbed, and under a bridge. Just follow the path to the beach until you reach the stairs. There's a break in the chain fence and you just go down. The waves are big and there are no facilities here. A lot of space and not crowded so you can have privacy if you want. Great sunsets too, one of the best wild beaches in tenerife

True 💎, absolute highlight of the trip. We went there two times after discovering it by following a dry riverbed. Free parking at the top of the riverbed track made it even more convenient, turning each visit into a delightful escape into nature's secluded haven.

Great beach, unfortunately closed at the moment due to landslides. Situation August 5, 2025: It is now absolutely blocked with a proper gate. See photos.

Don’t come here!!! Go to the other entrance, the stairs more to the west. Google Maps and Waze will guide you on the worse road possible, and you’ll have to go through private roads and unsafe walkways. Lovely beach and scenery. Go to the other pin

Beautiful beach going there is a bit tricky so read carefully: Don't go by the Google location, park the car on the sides of San Diego streat and walk about 15 minutes to the iron gate in the picture, descend down until you see the yellow fence in the picture and crawl under it, then descend carefully in the cliff. There are some ropes that people put there so you can use but don't trust them too much. Check when the sun is above the cliff before you come, it should be in the afternoon. Enjoy!

A secluded place that is probably one of the best beaches I have ever been to. Not a lot of people, clothing optional and around 700 meters of black sand make this beach truly special. Don‘t get distracted by the fences that tell you it is closed. It is not. Just wear proper shoes!

Fantastic Beach!!!! A little hard to get to, there are two ways down. Google will direct you to the north end, but the way is steep and you have to park a fair way away. There’s a path that goes down right up from where the beach is from the road. The way is very steep and not suitable for mobility impaired persons. The old stairwell is dangerous and not passable, however if you continue past, you can find the path down. It’s quite steep and rocky, but passable. Once down, the beach is incredible! Not too many people and lovely black sand. Amazing beach and worth the 30 minute trek.

It’s a cool museum. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooftop is definitely a highlight of the La Orotava!!!

Expected to see more sand carpets
