La Orotava, a visit that we absolutely cannot miss either from the historical aspect of the island or from the charm emanating from this town of about 42,000 inhabitants suspended between sea and hills.

The streets of the town are a succession of buildings of great historical value and locations representing strong connotations of Canarian Baroque such as Casa Los Balcones, (artistically known as Casa Fonseca) and Casa Lercaro.

A remarkable architectural value is represented by the European University of the Canaries.

It boasts countless protected natural areas, such as part of the Teide National Park and the Corona Forestal Nature Park, the Pinoleris Nature Reserve and the protected area of ​​La Resbala without counting the myriad of gardens, between public and private that crowd many of them corners.

The typical wooden balconies, which decorate the facades of traditional houses, the carpets of flowers and volcanic soil that are held every year in La Orotava on the occasion of the celebration of Corpus Christi and the traditional Holy Week, are very famous. since the seventeenth century.
