Activity itinerary

Centro de visitantes Telesforo Bravo (Pass by)

You are here in front of the Visitor Centre of Teide National Park. This park, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is inseparable from its island and takes up almost all of its space.

Square (Pass by)

You see here, at the entrance to the square, a statue of a kneeling man who seems to be working on something. This is a tribute to the carpet manufacturer. As you may know, La Orotava carpets are a traditional speciality of the city.

La Orotava (Pass by)

Take advantage of the benches in the small plaza Casañas, to settle down quietly while we explain a little the history of the Canaries. Because they are known as an unparalleled tourist spot, made of volcanic islands, beaches and extraordinary natural sites, but rarely do we know more.

Church of Our Lady of Conception (Pass by)

Here you are in front of the Church of the Conception. Take a look at it, it is the most beautiful baroque church in the archipelago. Its dome is unique on the island and is inspired by that of Florence Cathedral.

Casa Lercaro (Pass by)

Here you are in the historic heart of the Orotava, facing the casa Lercaro, a 17th century stately home declared a Cultural Property in the Historic Monuments category. This iconic building is known for its beautiful architecture, but also for its balconies and gardens.

Molino de gofio La Máquina (Pass by)

You have on your right the entrance to the Gofio Mill, says the “Maquina”. Here you can discover the work of the miller, and leave with gofio flour, cereal bars or honeypots. There has been a gofio mill on this site since the 16th century and the activity has never been interrupted.

La Orotava (Pass by)

Here you have a small viewpoint, which allows you to have an overview of the valley. It’s not much, but the telescope offers you to scan the horizon to the ocean below and observe the surroundings.

Casa de Los Balcones (Pass by)

Here you are in front of the famous Casa de los Balcones, the home of balconies. It is the most iconic stately home on the island. Finished in 1632, it is today the largest craft ensemble in the Canary Islands dedicated to calados.

Hospital de la Santisima Trinidad (Pass by)

Here you have the Church of San Francisco and the Holy Trinity Hospital. This complex was built on the remains of the former convent of San Lorenzo founded in 1519. The convent, then governed by a large community of Franciscan friars, was a reference in education, religion, but also economic development.

Plaza del Ayuntamiento (Pass by)

The building you see there is the La Orotava City Inn. Before its construction in 1870, there was the convent of the Clares Sisters of Saint Joseph, whose vaults are still visible in the basement of the town hall.

Hijuela del Botanico - La Oratava (Pass by)

Just behind the Town Inn is the Botanical Garden Annex. It is called the Hijuela del botanico in Spanish. It is a garden of 4000 square metres founded in 1788 at the request of the VIth Marquess of Villanueva del Prado.

Jardines Victoria (Pass by)

Now you are in the heart of the gardens of the Marquisate of Quinta Roja. They are also known as Victoria Gardens. They were built in the 19th century on a plantation of fruit trees belonging to the Marquis de la Quinta Roja who lived nearby.

Salón de Actos del Liceo Taoro - La Orotava (Pass by)

You arrive in front of the entrance of the iconic Liceo Taoro. Recognisable between a thousand, this two-tone building, built in 1928 on a promontory overlooking the city, was the home of a wealthy family on the island, the Ascanios, who owned many lands in the La Orotava Valley.

L'eglise et l'ancien Couvent de San Agustin (Pass by)

The two joint buildings that make the corner in front of you are the Church of San Agustin and its former convent, now converted into a House of Culture. The construction of this religious complex dates back to the 17th century, when the Augustinian friars began building their convent on this hill until then occupied by the Chapel of Saint-Roque.

Plaza de la Constitución (Pass by)

The square in which you are now standing pays tribute to the Spanish Constitution of 1812. In common parlance, it is also called the kiosk square, for its beautiful neo-mudéjar style kiosk.

C. Tomás Zerolo, 34 (Pass by)

You have here, on the one hand, the beautiful house called Torre Hermosa, and on the other, the church of Santo Domingo. The house, now divided in two, was in the 16th century the residence of the conquistador Diego de Mesa.
