La Orotava is located in the north of the island of Tenerife. After the Castilian conquest in the 15th century, La Orotava began to develop as an important agricultural centre, thanks to its fertile lands and favourable climate.
During the colonial era, La Orotava prospered with the cultivation of sugar cane and wine, becoming a key point for trade with Europe and America. The wealthy families of the time built majestic manor houses and palaces, many of which can still be admired today.
La Orotava is also known for its rich cultural and artistic tradition. Every year, during the Corpus Christi festival, the streets are decorated with carpets of flowers and sand from Teide, creating a visual spectacle that attracts visitors from all over the world.
A walk through La Orotava will give you the opportunity to understand part of the island's history, visiting emblematic places such as its church, the Parish of Nuestra Señora de la Concepción, a magnificent example of Canarian architecture. We will walk through its cobbled streets, where every corner hides a secret that our guide will want to reveal to you.
La Orotava is a place where history, culture and nature intertwine, offering a unique and unforgettable experience for those who decide to visit it.
