About La Orotava
Located in the fertile Orotava Valley uphill fromPuerto de la Cruz, La Orotava (from Guanche:Arautaba) was established in 1504 by the Spanish following their conquest of Tenerife. As the area was blessed with a mild climate, many Spanish elite chose to settle here; most of the city's historic buildings from this early period have been preserved and now now fall under landmark protection. The municipal boundaries of La Orotava encompass most ofTeide National Park, making it the largest municipality in Tenerife. It can be a good base for hiking, with many trail heads just outside the city and easily accessible by bus.
