La Orotava is located in the north of the island of Tenerife. After the Castilian conquest in the 15th century, La Orotava began to develop as an important agricultural centre, thanks to its fertile lands and favourable climate.
During the colonial era, La Orotava prospered with the cultivation of sugar cane and wine, becoming a key point for trade with Europe and America. The wealthy families of the time built majestic manor houses and palaces, many of which can still be admired today.
