Fincas in Tenerife for farming, holidays, rental, events, excursions, property investment and much more.

But, Tenerife fincas may
be used for totally
different purposes than
crops and livestock. .

Photo C.F.Real Real:
Los Silos and
Buenavista Fincas in Teno district stretching right down to the sea can be reached on TF5 freeway from Santa Cruz past Icod de los Vinos or in return from Los Gigantes in the south.

Fincas in the low lands of Buenavista and Los Silos are used above all for bananas and very often with shade houses for tomatoes which
neither tolerate humidity (such as found in the mist belt above Orotava Valley) nor too extreme sun.

You might also have heard of the large golf course of Buenavista del Norte which is precisely by those huge fertile finca lands on the west coast of Tenerife.

Amazing is how those fincas/farmsteads with all their agriculture get water.

Tenerife fincas can't feed of rivers which don't exist on the island.

However, springs bring water to fincas in pipes from the mountains above.

We see very few plantations or crops in southern and south eastern Tenerife. Why?

There is no water to take from any slopes above.

By the way, most bigger beaches without adjoining fincas and rural character are in the south western region of the island.

Fincas with vineyards.

Fincas in Tenerife with Vineyards are prominent in the region of el Sauzal, Tacoronte, Los Realejos, La Orotava and Icod de los Vinos.

Icod de los Vinos which is not far from Buenavista is found much higher up and is amazingly green and fertile.

There are many vineyards with quaint fincas in the region of Icod de los Vinos which you may find by double clicking on the island map.

Other agricultural fincas:

Proceeding from Icod we may pass San Juan de la Rambla and, climb to La Guancha with more villages beyond. All this is finca country with potatoes and vegetables where rural high up Icod del Alto is part of which is not the same as Icod de los Vinos.

The agricultural lands of Los Realejos stretch on right into La Orotava Valley.

Some of its fincas are still big or they are impressive country estates today, such as Finca Zamora for Tenerife weddings called Tenerife bodas.

Historic Finca La Gorvorana:

Not far from it by today's Los Potreros is Calle Gorvorana with the handsomely restored finca chapel Ermita de Gorvorana. Unfortunately, the farmstead Finca or Hacienda La Gorvorana, where it belongs to, is in much less good condition and turned into a socio-political, environmental issue, eventually. Meantime, some of its 2000 square meter large buildings on the back of Gorvorana road blend in well with a newly created park with small adjoining children play grounds. Most of the farmstead's Spanish roof tiles look intact and betray the collapsing roof structure. However, the stunning view of the valley down to the Atlantic can't be destroyed. Much history took place here since the finca's founding in 1496. Eventually part of it was split into La Longuera Toscal together with its subdivisions Romantica 1 and 2. On its borders a Tenerife apartment with partly rural finca surroundings came into being.

The former country estate La Gorvorana which was also founded shortly after De Lugo's conquest in 1496 is one of fincas in Tenerife which has no ugly feudal remnants and stories attached, contrary to the Casa del Patio by Santiago del Teide, a link of which find under Finca museums later on.

First Tenerife finca Hacienda Los Principes

An even much more important farm was half an hour by horse from La Gorvorana in Los Realejos Bajo. This was the first of all fincas in Tenerife. It was the finca Tenerife of principal importance. It set an example as the Hacienda of the Spanish conqueror of the island Tenerife who was Adelantado de Lugo.

Fish growing and fattening

The Tenerife fish farm Aguamansa isn't really seen has one of Tenerife fincas but rather as a scientific environmental project which is called Piscifactoria in Spanish.

Potato farm

We inspected a potato finca which was a renovator's dream there, once. It had fantastic views and might have been an excellent Tenerife property investment. It's good that we never bought. The danger of wildfires was great in that location.

Banana Fincas:

A banana finca (banana plantation) in the middle of Puerto de la Cruz is not rare. There is a large one next to Loro Park opposite the prime beach Playa Jardin which is in the oldest Tenerife resort. This finca plantation is so big.

One hardly sees the farmhouse on top.

Especially, when traveling by bus or, when walking in Tenerife it's rather pleasant when we, often , find those unexpected lush, green coastal banana patches of fincas right in between urban settlements in North Tenerife. Just like parks, you know...

One of town Banana fincas exactly opposite Beach Playa Jardin Puerto de la Cruz in Tenerife North, contrary to the coastal banana plantation. of Rambla del Mar by San Pedro Rambla del Castro nature reserve look-out.

Another large banana Finca has a beautiful coastal walking trail to Bollulo beach and is by Puerto de la Cruz La Paz not far from Lido or Lago Martianez and Playa Martianez.

Hotel or private hostel or activity holiday fincas :

Some time ago, I had a real problem finding rural hotels in Tenerife.

Finca with hotel amenities for large Tenerif wedding

I had not heard of the finca Salamanca, for example, which is a very big country estate hotel. Book the Country hotel Finca Salamanca which is ideal for large wedding parties and similar large celebrations, seminars and the like.

I was under the impression that only rural hotels owned by the government called Paradores existed.The only hotel in the Teide National Park Parador del Teide is such a hotel. You may do your own excursions to get there, even by bus.

There are many smaller theme fincas in Tenerife which are often advertised as rural houses for sale. Enterprising investors turn them, later, into small country hotels for riding holidays, for birding, you name it... Their accommodation bookings for holiday home in Tenerife rental can often be done in the Internet.

Most of those fincas are in the north of the island close to many walking trails by the oldest Tenerife resort.

When reading up on Tenerife holiday rental you will discover that rental with fincas is totally legal, although it's done with other properties, too.

La Casa del Pintor

Please, note that the British Bed and Breakfast accommodation is rare in Tenerife, by the way, except in hotels, of course.

Why is that so? Even tourists renting fincas in Tenerife or within rural houses often do like the Spaniards do and have a cheap snack or breakfast in a café or bar.

Nevertheless, a traditional English breakfast would, surely, be often welcome on fincas.

Historical museum fincas:

Some old fincas in Tenerife serve as museums like Finca de Rambla by the coastal nature reserve of San Pedro which is being renovated.

The nature reserve is part of the Rambla de Castro which is the most romantic coastal Tenerife hiking trail in the north for more gentle walking in Tenerife going past a a ruin with a legend with exotic looking banana fincas nearby.

Fincas for special holiday or events:

A 10 minutes car ride from Monasterio brings you to Finca Villa Abaco Museum for events Tel: +34 922374811 one of XVIIIth century beautiful fincas in the oldest Tenerife resort Puerto de la Cruz with Tenderete (Folk music) and classical concerts. Cocktails, business ventures, weddings, galas, anniversaries you name it may also be celebrated at the farm villa.

Finca Casa Baranda (Casa del Vino) Tel: +34 922 572535 fax: +34 922 572744, is another lovingly renovated farmstead turned wine museum in Tenerife North.

Finca museum for education and excursion:

Fincas for art:

Finca del Arte is situated in a rural area 15 minutes from my friend's direct sale property Los Gigantes.

The gallery's location is:
Calle Centro
38630 Chayofa

The exhibitions by Finca del Arte are good.
