House of the Balconies
La Casa de los Balcones is a Canarian manor house from the 17th century (with its construction dated around 1632) located in the historic center of La Orotava, also known as Casa Méndez-Fonseca. It is one of the most representative examples of traditional Canarian architecture, with its carved tea wood balconies on the facade and in the gardened interior patio. Today it functions as a house-museum and craft center: on its upper floor, it recreates domestic life from past eras, while the complex houses a prominent collection of lace and embroidery, as well as craft workshops.
It is also a sales point for typical Canarian products such as lace, embroidery, and local crafts.
