La Casa de Los Balcones

La Casa de Los Balcones is far more than a museum: it's a time portal into the heart of Canarian tradition in the center of La Orotava. This spectacular 1632 building, beautifully preserved, welcomes you with its iconic carved wooden balconies that give the house its name and stand as symbols of traditional Tenerife architecture.

As you wander through its rooms, you'll discover how Canarian families lived centuries ago, surrounded by period furniture, traditional Orotava costumes, and an impressive collection of local craftsmanship created by island master artisans. The interior courtyard, with its plants and authentic atmosphere, is one of those corners that truly transports you to another era. The museum also features shops where you can purchase unique pieces of Canarian folk art, perfect souvenirs to take home a piece of Tenerife.

Beloved by both locals and visitors alike, La Casa de Los Balcones opens daily and deserves a leisurely visit to appreciate every detail. If you combine your ticket with the nearby Molino de Gofio Museum, you can get a discount. A must-see to understand the soul of La Orotava.
