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".
