What people say

"La città coloniale di La Orotava si trova vicino alla costa settentrionale di Tenerife, ad appena 7 chilometri da Puerto de la Cruz, ed è famosa per la sua architettura castigliana, caratterizzata da balconi e cortili interni, le strade acciottolate e le vivaci piazze. Forse non tutti sanno che uno dei prodotti più importanti delle Canarie sono le banane e a Tenerife sorgono numerose piantagioni di alta qualità che possono vantare il sigillo di “Indicazione Geografica Protetta”. Per chi fosse interessato a saperne di più o semplicemente vuole immergersi in un campo di banane, dovrebbe visitare una piantagione a La Orotava, dove poter approfondire storia e coltivazione di questo iconico frutto.

"Just 8 kilometers from Puerto de la Cruz, there is one of the most beautiful and most historic resorts in Tenerife on the island, La Orotava. This town, founded in the upper part of a valley of the same name, is part of the Teide Natural Park and offers privileged views of the volcano and the Atlantic from 360 meters high."

"Just uphill from Puerto de la Cruz, La Orotava is a charming town and a great base for exploring the north of Tenerife, with more affordable accommodation compared to Puerto. It also has great museums and colonial architecture. "

Mentioned in these guides

Tenerife truly stands out for its diverse panoramic views. From any point on the island you can reach an elevation above the clouds in less than an hour. Visiting its viewpoints is undoubtedly the best way to experience the island's charm. That's why I've decided to focus the guide on highlighting the 7 essential viewpoints 🤩 that should be included in any visit. You'll discover the island one viewpoint at a time. No matter how much time you have or what your interests are, your mission should be to make it to these viewpoints at all costs. Don't miss any of them. After that, you can take some time to relax on the beach or by the hotel pool...😎 The guide also includes: 📣 Essential Information: tips, towns, must-visit spots, local cuisine, top activities and more. 🍽️ 5 authentic 'guachinches' (local restaurants) 🍸 5 bars with stunning views 🍦 The best ice cream spot 🍝 4 places for international food 🍳 8 brunch spots 📍 + 100 pinned places to explore from anywhere on the island And if you still have time and energy, you can explore the list of 17 hidden gems 💎 These are lesser-known and unique places that are worth discovering. Many locals believe that sharing these places will only lead to them getting spoiled and lost forever... I'd like to think that this guide will be in good hands and that visitors will take care of the islands just as well or even better than we do🙏 Note: just click on any location within the guide or map and you'll instantly get directions on your phone's Google Maps app. Make sure to download the Thatch app for a seamless and convenient experience!
