\"Casa<\/figure>\n\n

Built in 1632, Casa de los Balcones is the architectural jewel of La Orotava. You can already admire its magnificent facade, but we highly recommend a visit to see its carved wooden balconies from the patio adorned with exotic plants.We were impressed by its magnificent balconies, a testament to Canarian craftsmanship. Inside, you’ll discover a museum featuring art objects, traditional textiles and period tools that tell the story of daily life in the Canaries in the 17th century. <\/p>\n\n
