Finca el Pino
La Orotava
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.

What to see
Piedra de La Rosa
Standing before the Piedra de la Rosa (Rose Rock) makes you realize that nature also knows how to sculpt delicate forms. This volcanic formation resembles a giant flower blooming in the middle of the mountain, with rocky "petals" unfurling towards the ravine. It's one of those places that many overlook, but when you look at it closely, you can't help but linger for a long time, admiring it.
