About this experience
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.
