Hostel Tenerife — Hotel in La Orotava

We had the opportunity to stay at Hostel Tenerife in March. It sits in a historic part of town with narrow cobblestone streets. It doesn’t feel like you are in the USA for sure. Manfred, the owner, is multilingual and was very welcoming, making it seem like he had been awaiting us like an old friend. The hostel itself is a big rambling house with an open air courtyard.

The north coast is much more beautiful and authentic than the touristy south! In the north there are black sand beaches and la Orotava is the perfect starting point for tours to both the sea and the mountains, since it is situated in the middle of both! ||||Also the city itself is really beautiful. If I remember correctly it was once the capital and therefore very rich, which left its marks on the beautiful charming old buildings. We will...
