Must-try dishes
Gofio escaldon
Grilled meats
Chickpeas
Guachinche La Casona, located in the heart of La Orotava, is one of those places that instantly conveys the flavor and tradition of Tenerife. It's housed in a typical old Canarian home, with wooden ceilings, whitewashed walls, and an inviting interior courtyard. Its simple yet authentic decor complements the dining experience, which focuses on home-style cooking and the original concept of guachinches: offering homemade food to accompany their own wine.
The menu typically includes essential classics such as papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes) with red and green mojo sauce, local cured cheeses, succulent grilled meats, garbanzas compuestas (chickpea stew), and escaldón de gofio (a traditional Canarian dish made with roasted grains), among other dishes that vary seasonally. The house wine, produced in small batches, adds a special touch and completes the experience.
Here, it's not just about eating, but about sharing a moment in a space where the warm hospitality and relaxed atmosphere make visitors feel right at home. La Casona is frequented by both locals and travelers seeking a true immersion in Tenerife's culinary culture. Its location in La Orotava also allows visitors to combine their visit with a stroll through the historic center, considered one of the most beautiful in the Canary Islands.

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
Área Recreativa de Chanajiga
If you prefer the more authentic, lush forest of the north, Chanajiga offers an atmosphere unlike any other picnic area on the island. Here, the forest takes center stage: tall pines, frequent mist, and a constant feeling of coolness. It's a popular spot for spending the day with barbecues and picnics, but also serves as a starting point for trails that delve into one of Tenerife's greenest and most rugged areas.
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
Cocktailbar La Barca
Cocktailbar La Barca is one of those small, hidden gems that end up having far more personality than they initially appear. What's most captivating here is the atmosphere: music, expertly crafted cocktails, and a constant feeling of being among friends. It's not about pretension or modern luxury. It has that cozy, authentic feel where people come to relax, chat, and linger longer than they intended.
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.
