About Icod de Los Vinos

Nestled slightly inland of Tenerife's northern coast, Icod de los Vinos has a reputation for terrific traditional cuisine. A charming little town, it’s a lovely base for those looking to unwind in a quieter part of the island. Keen foodies will be thrilled with the chance to savour regional dishes — some of which are served at the best places to stay in Icod de los Vinos. Simple yet elegant, these small hotels are also appealingly affordable.

Once famous for its wines and sugar, Icod de los Vinos has long-standing agricultural ties. The town remains surrounded by green spaces, and tours of nearby farms come highly recommended. Wine tastings at the Museo de Malvasia are not to be missed, nor are visits to see the famed thousand-year-old dragon tree or the Casa del Plátano. Venture out of town to follow the scenic walking, hiking and mountain bike trails which criss-cross Tenerife’s interior, or to discover the Teide National Park.

Extensively rebuilt after being partly destroyed by a fire in 1798, the town is wonderfully walkable. Stroll around its heritage centre to see the Church of San Marcos, the San Francisco Convent and the two main plazas: Lorenzo Cáceres and la Pila. Pick a perch for a coffee and a Canarian pastry, or tuck in to rich rabbit stews with local red wine on blamy evenings.
