Grilled meats
Chickpeas
Guachinche La Casona, located in the heart of La Orotava, is one of those places that instantly conveys the flavor and tradition of Tenerife. It's housed in a typical old Canarian home, with wooden ceilings, whitewashed walls, and an inviting interior courtyard. Its simple yet authentic decor complements the dining experience, which focuses on home-style cooking and the original concept of guachinches: offering homemade food to accompany their own wine.
The menu typically includes essential classics such as papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes) with red and green mojo sauce, local cured cheeses, succulent grilled meats, garbanzas compuestas (chickpea stew), and escaldón de gofio (a traditional Canarian dish made with roasted grains), among other dishes that vary seasonally. The house wine, produced in small batches, adds a special touch and completes the experience.
Here, it's not just about eating, but about sharing a moment in a space where the warm hospitality and relaxed atmosphere make visitors feel right at home. La Casona is frequented by both locals and travelers seeking a true immersion in Tenerife's culinary culture. Its location in La Orotava also allows visitors to combine their visit with a stroll through the historic center, considered one of the most beautiful in the Canary Islands.

Where to eat
Porsabor
If you love ice cream, you'll notice the difference from the very first spoonful. At Porsabor, they work with a carefully crafted base, intense flavors, and a creamy texture that's not your average drink. They have a wide variety, including more unusual flavors and lactose-free or sugar-free options. It's the kind of place where you stop for an ice cream and end up going back for more.
What to see
Escalera de Agatha Christie
If you love literature, this staircase will bring a smile to your face. Right on the Paseo San Amaro, you'll see steps transformed into the spines of Agatha Christie books, painted in vibrant colors and bearing recognizable titles. It's a tribute to her visit to Tenerife in 1927. When you climb them, you're not just walking; you're traversing a part of her history and her connection to Puerto de la Cruz.
Activities
La Guarida del Pirata
At The Pirate's Lair, you don't come to just watch: you come to play, explore, and become part of a story.

It's a place closely linked to the primary sector of northern Tenerife, where the authentic flavor of Canarian cheese takes center stage.
