Some buildings are alive with history – you can sense it the moment you step inside, and this certainly rings true for Tenerife's La Casa de los Balcones. Take an self-guided tour of this 17th-century manor and see the lifestyles enjoyed by its past residents, which were well-to-do families and military figures. See family heirlooms and antiquities, and soak up the tranquil atmosphere of its inner courtyard with views of intricate wooden balconies that evoke the nostalgia of yesteryear.

Take a tour called "Los Molinos de la Villa" and learn about the hydraulic heritage still present in the streets of northern Tenerife and the staple food of the Canary Islands, gofio, which has a history of five centuries.
