El Monasterio
Los Realejos
Must-try dishes
All the meats
The Mesón-Monasterio, in Los Realejos, is a place steeped in history: founded as an estate by Friar Antonio el Gomero in 1788—already a hub of community exchange—today it is a monumental gastronomic oasis. Restored in 1990, this former monastery stretches across more than 100,000 m² next to La Montañeta. It houses five distinct areas that share a common spirit: rustic lounges, verdant terraces, a wine cellar with barrels, a shop selling bread, artisanal delicacies, and a gourmet shop, as well as gardens teeming with free-roaming birds.
The atmosphere changes with the rhythm of the day: from breakfasts and brunches on the sun-drenched terrace to family meals or casual tapas. The cuisine offers everything from tapas and homemade sweets to traditional Canarian dishes, coffees, and local wines, all served in an inviting setting. All of this is enveloped in a serene atmosphere where history and service merge seamlessly.
This space is more than just a restaurant; it's a complete experience: cuisine, architecture, nature, heritage, and comfort converge here. It's ideal for those seeking more than just a meal; those who want to connect with local history, lose themselves in manicured gardens, and enjoy an environment brimming with authenticity, understated elegance, and the historic soul of Tenerife.

Where to eat
Persia Tenerife
If you're looking to try something different in Puerto de la Cruz, this restaurant offers a taste of the Middle East without leaving the historic center. Here you'll find Persian cuisine bursting with intense aromas, where saffron, fresh herbs, yogurt, and nuts define the character of the dishes. I love it because it doesn't try too hard to be a tourist: it invites you to discover authentic Iranian flavors in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
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 an outdoor family adventure park in Los Realejos, designed for birthdays and experiences where children and adults solve riddles, follow pirate maps, and live a real adventure in the heart of nature.
Beaches
Playa el Ancón
El Ancón beach in La Orotava welcomes you with its dark volcanic sand and a deep blue sea that shifts with the light. It's a wide beach with lively waves and a natural setting that invites you to stroll, gaze at the horizon, and feel the power of the Atlantic. Ideal if you love authentic, unspoiled beaches with a pristine volcanic landscape.
Nightlife
Shopping
Las Llanadas
If you enjoy discovering local products directly from their source, this small artisanal cheese factory in Los Realejos is one of those places where cheese is still made the traditional way. They work primarily with goat's milk and produce fresh, semi-cured, and smoked cheeses, as well as ricotta and other dairy products. It's a place closely linked to the primary sector of northern Tenerife, where the authentic flavor of Canarian cheese takes center stage.
Sports
Barranquismo Barranco de Los Arcos
The Barranco de los Arcos, in La Orotava, is one of Tenerife's most impressive canyoning spots. Its route passes through volcanic rock landscapes, natural caves, and the famous rock arches that give the area its name. It combines rappelling, hiking, and geological exploration in a wild and breathtakingly beautiful setting. Ideal for adventurers seeking an authentic and unique experience in the heart of Tenerife's natural beauty.
Trekking
Sendero de Los Organos
The Los Órganos Trail, in the Corona Forestal Natural Park, is one of the most iconic routes in La Orotava. It passes through a thick, beautiful pine forest to reach the impressive basalt cliffs reminiscent of organ pipes, formed by volcanic action. With views of the Orotava Valley and Mount Teide, it is an ideal hike for nature lovers and those who enjoy peaceful hiking.
