La Orotava Attractions 
The road running east from Puerto de la Cruz joins N 820 in 4km/2.5mi, and 1km/0.75mi along this to the west is a side road signposted to La Orotava. One of the most attractive and most typical of Canarian towns, La Orotava enjoys a climatically favored situation which makes possible a highly productive agriculture. Its central feature is the flower decked Plaza de la Constitución, from which there is a superb view over the roofs of the town to the coast which has earned the square the name of the "balcony of La Orotava".
Nuestra Señora de la Concepción
Some 300m/330yd west of the square in La Orotava is the church of Nuestra Señora de la Concepción (1768-88). With its high dome and two small towers, it is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture, with some Rococo features.
Casas de los Balcones
A little way south of the Nuestra Señora de la Concepción are the Casas de los Balcones, two houses with beautifully decorated balconies of traditional Canarian type.
