La Casa de Los Balcones
Piramides de Güímar
One of the most fascinating places you can visit is the
“Ethnographic Park Pirámides de Güímar”, a step pyramid site
that has been studied by archaeologists from around the world.
This year the Park pays special homage to its founder, the great
Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl, since 2014 marks the 100
year anniversary of his birth. This beautifully kept centre includes
three outdoor routes distributed around the more than 20.000m2
of lovely garden areas, dedicated to the history, culture and flora
of the Canaries, permanent exhibitions about Heyerdahl, Easter
Island and Navigation, an Auditorium and a Museum, leisure
area, cafeteria and a remarkable ‘Poison Garden’ with more than
70 dangerous and even lethal plant species from around the
world, in which one can discover the exciting history of venoms
and notorious poisoners of all time.
Located in the historic town of La Orotava, on the north coast of
Tenerife, the Casa de los Balcones is an architectural treasure
from the seventeenth century.
Both its façade and interior are of extraordinary beauty, blending
harmoniously with its urban surroundings. It is one of the most
important handicraft centres for embroidery in the Canarian
Archipelago, besides being a learning centre, promoting and
popularising this native handicraft.
As one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tenerife,
thousands of visitors enjoy the installations and products on sale
each year. The House of Balconies has received numerous prizes
and awards for its educational work and popularisation of handicraft.
The typical Canarian patio is highlighted by a large row of
balconies on the top two floors enhanced by its exuberant tropical
vegetation.
Visitors are welcomed into the cool shady areas where the rich
aromas and intense perfumes create a calm ambience with the blue
Canarian sky visible through the leaves of the towering palm trees

Summer is here and your thoughts should be turning to DIY
around your house and garden, with some relaxation thrown in as
well.
The new ferreteria/hardware store at Palm Mar can help. It is
run by brother and sister team, Carlos and Faby and sells a wide
range of goods, including electrical items, and everything
from buckets, knives, tools, plumbing items, electrical fittings
and batteries to super-glue, locks, torches and much more. Some
paint is in stock but a specific colour can be mixed up for you
within 24 hours and if you don’t want to buy tools, you can hire
them by the day.
Carlos speaks English so you can always ring to discuss what
you need and there is free delivery in Palm Mar. He can also
undertake decorating, plumbing, repairs etc.
The store is on the right on your way to the beach so you can
also stop by to pick up beach chairs, an inflatable or an umbrella
or buy yourself a new barbecue

Buenavista Golf course, which was designed by Seve Ballesteros
and opened in 2003, is located in the extreme northwest of the
island of Tenerife, in the region of Daute Isla Baja. It is surrounded
by the protected area of Cordillera de Teno and the Atlantic Ocean.
The 18 hole, a 72-par-course, has a length of 6.019 meters.
The course has 6 holes of par 3, par 4 and par 5. On the outward
nine, the most demanding holes are the par 4 while on the
inward route, the par 3 and above all at the 15th and 17th, as
they are next to the cliff.
The greens of 5 holes are close to the rocky coastline, and one
seems to hit the ball right into the Ocean.
Buenavista Golf has been designed with great respect to the
nature and in our commitment with it, the course has obtained
the quality certificate and environmental management of all
resources, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 acknowledged by TÜV.
From Buenavista Golf we invite you to enjoy playing golf in the
best golf course of the island, and if you never have played , we
give you the opportunity to engage through Baptisms of Golf and
children’s courses.
