Casa Jose (El Tejadito)
La Vitoria de Acentejo
Must-try dishes
Stuffed Potatoes
Peas with Egg
Yellow Rice
Stepping into Guachinche Casa Jose, known to many as El Tejadito, is like stepping into the heart of Canarian tradition in La Victoria de Acentejo. From the moment you sit down, you feel like you're in an authentic place, where life isn't complicated: what truly matters here is the house wine and the food prepared the old-fashioned way.
The menu is simple, with dishes that don't try to impress with their names, but rather with their flavour. I appreciate that there are no endless menus or exotic ingredients: there are stuffed potatoes with a texture that reminds you of the origins of each flavour; there's escaldón de gofio, which is practically a symbol of tradition; and there's grilled rabbit with just the right amount of smokiness you'd expect from a well-prepared home-style kitchen.
The wine deserves its own mention: it's house-grown, and as in true guachinches, its quality is above average compared to a typical restaurant. I like to order a glass and let the wine's character accompany me as I eat. The wine changes every season, and that detail alone speaks volumes about why these kinds of places are more than just about food: they're a meeting point between the land, the people, and the table.
The atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried. Here, you're not expected to rush out the door; you're expected to savor your meal, chat with your companions, and experience the true essence of a guachinche, in one of Tenerife's most deeply rooted wine-growing regions.
There are practical details that also matter: they don't accept credit cards, and the seasonal selection changes depending on wine availability. This might seem inconvenient if you come with different expectations, but for me, it's part of what this place is: authentic, unfiltered, and unpretentious—simply good Canarian food paired with a wine that speaks to the place where it's produced.

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
Forestal Park Tenerife
An adventure awaits you among the trees at Forestal Park Tenerife: enormous zip lines, suspension bridges, and climbing nets in the heart of the Las Lagunetas pine forest. It's perfect if you want to disconnect from the beach, breathe fresh air, and get your adrenaline pumping with family or friends.
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
Mercadillo del Agricultor Tacoronte
If you come to this town and crave authentic local flavors, the Tacoronte Farmers' Market is my go-to spot. It's a traditional farmers' market where the producers themselves sell fruits, vegetables, cheeses, honey, breads, and family wines directly from their farms to you—no middlemen—all fresh and in season. The atmosphere is lively and genuine, perfect for picking up products that truly make a difference in taste.
Sports
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.
