Travel to the past and enjoy visiting to the house museum of La Casa de Los Balcones -also known as Casa Fonseca-, built in 1632.
During this visit, you will be able to discover the lifestyle, uses and customs of a canarian family who lived in this house from the 20th century.
The circuit begins on the first floor, where you can look at different rooms of the house, which is home to a big collection of antique objects of the owners.
Between them, there are typical canarian objects and traditional tools that currently is not easy to find them.
Then, you go downstairs to know how a winery works. After that, you will be able to relax on the inner courtyard surrounded by a stunning wooden balcony made with canarian tea pine.

Formidable, j’ai adoré ce voyage au 19 e siècle, les objets d’époque, comment cette maison a été pensé, par rapport à la chaleur, la consommation d’eau (si précieuse)
Ce patio, un havre de paix végétale et de fraîcheur…
On peux y apprécier le chant des serins!!!

Beautiful old house. You need to go up a small spiral staircase to get to the first floor. It is 5 euros to enter. The woodwork is stunning, each beam had been decoratively carved. There are a couple of nice photo opportunities on the balcony or through the windows. There is also a old wine press in the back of the property.

Es una casa antigua y señorial, perteneciente a una familia muy pudiente. Una de las muestras de arquitectura canaria del siglo XVII con un imponente balcón de más de 10 metros que cruza la facha de manera horizontal.
La entrada cuesta 5 € y no se puede acceder a la segunda planta. En el patio y en la primera planta se puede ver las habitaciones y utensilios de una casa canaria de siglos pasados siempre desde el pasillo (primera planta) o a través de cristales. Nos pareció muy cara la entrada para lo que ves y como lo ves.
La persona que atendía muy poco amable, le pregunte por las alfombras de flores y apenas me hizo caso, estaba hablando con la compañera de la tienda.
Al lado está la llamada Casa del Turista donde se muestra durante todo el año un ejemplo de las famosas alfombras de La Orotava. Una pena que estuviese cerrada.
