La Orotava

La Orotava is best known in the Canary Islands for the intricate flower and volcanic-sand carpets made each year for Corpus Christi. Set in the Orotava Valley on Tenerife’s northern slope, the town faces the Atlantic while Mount Teide rises inland. Its old quarter preserves traditional Canarian houses with carved wooden balconies; Casa de los Balcones is among the best-known examples. Streets descending towards the coast give the historic centre a distinctive layout and reflect La Orotava’s long-established place in Tenerife’s civic life.
