Every time you step into Casa Portela in Guamasa, you know you're visiting a place steeped in history and personality. It's housed in a renovated old building, integrated into the neighborhood yet retaining a rural charm that's evident in the tranquil atmosphere and the way the cuisine engages with local traditions.
The first thing that strikes you is the balance between Canarian tradition and modernity. The chefs have created a menu where classic dishes are reinterpreted with sensitivity, preserving their original essence. This is apparent both in the choice of ingredients and in the presentation of the dishes, where each element complements the others without any one element overpowering the others.
The interior is bright and well-maintained, with a dining room that exudes calm and details that reflect the care with which the house was renovated. There's also a small outdoor terrace that's especially welcome when the weather is nice. This isn't a place to eat quickly; it's a place to sit, chat, and savor every moment.
The staff's service is clearly a distinguishing feature. They are professionals who guide you through the menu, suggest pairings, and are attentive without being intrusive. This level of service, combined with well-executed flavors, makes for a pleasant visit whether it's your first time or a return visit.
The menu is anything but monotonous; there are thoughtfully crafted starters, main courses that combine modern techniques with local island ingredients, and homemade desserts that end the meal with a touch of sweetness without being overpowering. The wine selection, featuring local options and others from national wineries, helps to add the perfect finishing touch to each choice.
Casa Portela is a restaurant that respects the heritage of Canarian cuisine but views it with a fresh perspective. If you come to Guamasa looking for a meal that makes you reflect on the place and the ingredients, without sacrificing contemporary touches, this is the perfect place.

Where to eat
Sora Kai
If you come to Sora Kai in El Sauzal, it's primarily for the views and the excellent Japanese food. You sit on their open terraces facing the sea and Mount Teide, enjoying a relaxed atmosphere that makes the sunset seem to last longer. Here, Japanese cuisine has a modern twist, the service is friendly and professional, and the overall feeling is that of a place to linger, chatting over a drink and some sushi.
What to see
Parque Natural El Montillo
El Montillo Natural Park in La Matanza de Acentejo is a vast green space where you can enjoy the fresh air without leaving the city. It's a complete park, with children's play areas, a café, lakes with waterfalls, picnic areas, viewpoints, a dog park, a beach soccer field, a climbing wall, and a skate park, all surrounded by lush vegetation and tranquility—ideal for a unique day out.
Activities
Área Recreativa Llano Los Viejos
If you're looking for a picnic area within Anaga that's more secluded and less crowded than others, Llano de Los Viejos has a very different feel. Here you're immersed in the laurel forest, with frequent mist, humidity, and that typical silence of the northern mountains. It's a more enclosed spot, perfect for relaxing, having a picnic or barbecue, and disconnecting from the hustle and bustle.
Beaches
Mesa del Mar
Visiting Mesa del Mar is like stepping into a tranquil corner where northern Tenerife feels most authentic. Upon arrival, you'll find a small coastal village nestled between cliffs, natural pools, and the open sea. Here, everything invites you to slow down: walk along the water's edge, sit and gaze at the Atlantic, and enjoy a local atmosphere, unhurried and unpretentious.
Nightlife
Terrazas del Sauzal
Having a drink at Terrazas del Sauzal is much more than just sitting on a terrace. You come here for the views. The Atlantic Ocean stretches out before you, Mount Teide dominates the horizon, and you'll witness one of the most spectacular sunsets in northern Tenerife. Although it has a well-known restaurant and brunch menu, many people simply come to enjoy a drink, a coffee, or a relaxing cocktail amidst gardens and open terraces with a panorama that's hard to beat on the island.
Shopping
Ron Guajiro
If you want to try a rum with a true Canarian identity, Guajiro is one of those that's part of the local culture. You'll notice it especially in the honey rum: sweet, smooth, and very easy to drink, perfect after a meal or on the rocks. They also have drier and oaked versions if you prefer something more robust. It's a very local product, the kind you'll find in traditional bars and shops around the island.
Sports
BMX Parque la Vega
The BMX circuit at Parque de La Vega in La Laguna is one of the most active spaces for freestyle enthusiasts in northern Tenerife. Surrounded by greenery and a youthful atmosphere, it offers a course with ramps, jumps, and modules ideal for practicing technique and style. It's a regular meeting point for local riders who appreciate its relaxed, community-oriented atmosphere, open to all levels.
Trekking
El Tomadero
A circular route in Anaga Rural Park connecting Punta del Hidalgo with El Tomadero, ascending via a channel carved into the rock and descending through the ravine. It's approximately 6 km with little elevation gain, but includes technical and exposed sections that increase the difficulty. The channel is in very good condition and clean, although it can be quite vertigo-inducing in some places. The descent through the ravine is rocky and uncomfortable. A short but demanding route, not recommended for people with vertigo.
