La Orotava: A Trip to the Past
La Orotava is famous for its stunning colonial architecture and cobblestone streets. Strolling through this town feels like a trip back in time. Don’t miss the Casa de los Balcones, where you can check out traditional Canarian craftsmanship and learn more about local history. Plus, the Hijuela del Botánico gardens will give you a refreshing green escape with their variety of exotic plants.
Every year, La Orotava hosts the famous Alfombras de La Orotava, a festival where the streets are covered in stunning carpets made from flowers and volcanic sand. These incredible, temporary artworks leave everyone who visits in awe!
Los Realejos: A Natural Paradise in the Orotava Valley
If you’re a nature lover and into hiking, Los Realejos is your perfect spot. With over 80 kilometers of trails, this place invites you to discover some stunning landscapes. The Rambla de Castro route is a favorite, mixing sea views with the lush beauty of Canary flora. Every step you take in Los Realejos will bring you closer to the natural wonders of Tenerife.
Los Realejos is also famous for its stunning fireworks display during the Day of the Cross. This event lights up the sky with vibrant colors, celebrating local tradition and devotion. It’s one of the biggest pyrotechnic shows in the Canary Islands, and you won’t want to miss it!
Puerto de la Cruz: Life and Sea in the Orotava Valley
Puerto de la Cruz is known for its vibrant urban life and stunning coastline. Here, you can chill at Lago Martiánez, a saltwater pool complex designed by César Manrique—it’s the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun. Don’t miss the Botanical Garden either; it’s got an impressive collection of tropical and subtropical plants that will leave you in awe.
Plus, Puerto de la Cruz hosts the Mueca Festival, an annual performing arts event that fills the streets with theater, music, and dance. It turns the whole city into an open-air stage, giving you a vibrant and diverse cultural experience you won’t want to miss!
