Must-try dishes
Chickpeas
Grilled cheese with mojo sauce
Grilled meats
When you arrive at Guachinche Finca El Pino, you're greeted by an atmosphere that doesn't try to be anything it's not: you're in an authentic guachinche, in the heart of the rural area of Los Gómez, above the Cuesta de la Villa in La Orotava. The place has several outdoor terraces, a tranquil garden, and a cozy indoor dining room, all designed to make you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive, whether it's lunchtime or an afternoon meal.
Here, the menu feels genuine and well-balanced for a guachinche: there are starters to share, potato salad, local cheeses, chickpea stew, and escaldón (a traditional Canarian dish); also fish dishes, such as fish in sauce or with onions, and above all, juicy grilled meats—chicken, small fish, ribeye steak, or sirloin—which are usually the most popular choices. The house wine, served by the glass, perfectly complements the food and immerses you in the island's culinary traditions.
What I love most about this guachinche is that it doesn't try to impress with modernity, but with honesty: the produce is local, the cooking is homemade, and the portions are generous. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, ideal if you're coming with children or in a group, and they have private parking, which makes it easy to get there without any hassle.
The homemade desserts change with the seasons and are usually a very welcome sweet ending. And although the service can sometimes be a bit slow—as is often the case in places with traditional cuisine prepared to order—the overall feeling is that you're in a place where you can eat well and feel like you're part of the local community's daily life.
In short: if you're looking for a guachinche with homemade flavour, its own wine, and a relaxed atmosphere in La Orotava, this is one of the places that's truly worth trying.

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
Tradicional Cucaña
If you visit Puerto de la Cruz during the Fiestas del Carmen, there's one tradition you absolutely can't miss: the Cucaña. More than just a spectacle, it's one of those moments that best represents the city's maritime identity. Dozens of young people attempt to climb a long, grease-covered pole, suspended over the sea, to reach a flag at the top. It looks easy from land, but the laughter, the splashing, and the festive atmosphere make this centuries-old tradition one of the most anticipated events of the year.
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
Las Tejas Verdes
If you're looking for a different kind of night out in Puerto de la Cruz, Las Tejas Verdes is one of those places that retains an increasingly rare and authentic essence. More than just a cocktail bar, it feels like a small tavern where live Canarian and Spanish music is an integral part of the experience. Here, you come to have a drink, listen to guitars and vocals just a few meters away, and enjoy an authentic atmosphere, far removed from modern bars and typical tourist traps.
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
Parque Sostenible de Los Trazos
The Los Trazos Sustainable Park in La Orotava is not your typical flat, grassy urban park. Here, everything revolves around sustainability and the island's natural landscape. It features sloping paths, viewpoints, sports areas, calisthenics equipment, and gardens with native Canarian flora. It's a very pleasant place to walk, sit for a while, or simply unwind, all within one of La Orotava's most peaceful residential areas.
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.
