- La Orotava and Garachico are two very important cities in the Canary islands and a lot of the history of Tenerife was written here.
La Orotava was the last city to fall to the spanish conquerors in the time when the guanches inhabited this land and Garachico was the main port of Tenerife before a volcano eruption changed its fate.
Tenerife has much more to offer than the beaches and the resorts in the south and if you care to look further, you can get yourself emerged in the history and culture by travelling to the North of Tenerife where you can admire a lot of the colonial architecture just by strolling around the city centers of La Orotava and La Laguna.
Strolling through these cities, you can admire the beautiful wooden balconies, the baroque and andalusian architecture of the churches and taste the local cuisine in a traditional guachinche.
I hope this video will help you understand better the culture and the history of Tenerife and convince you to come explore it for yourself.

nice video. we are in Garachico right now in an airbnb. will use this city as a base for our exploring. found inspiration in this video and will visit La Orotava tomorrow or the next day.
Glad to hear! Have a great time and greet La Orotava for me 🙌🙃
@@UntraveledRoadsOfficial will do:) also, the info about the Guachinche was great! had a delicious meal at a guachinche close by here yesterday, which we would not have found without your information...so thanks for that!
Nice! Really glad to hear! Enjoy Tenerife 🙌🙃🙏
Great video, nice captured, editing & storyline

Cheers from Qatar
Thank you 😊 🙏🙌
Wahnsinnig interessant und toll produziert. Nicht ganz ohne Neid ;-)
Wirklich herzlichen Dank 😊 ☺️
Great Video, keep it up
Thank you 🙏 😊
toller Inhalt. Ich war im Sommer kurz dort im Rahmen eines Segeltörns über den Atlantik. Nachdem ich Norden gesehen hatte, wusste ich, dass ich zurückkommen würde, um alle Trails zu umrunden. Ich warte auf weitere Berichte von den Trails und aus dem Norden. Icod de los Vinos hat auch schön. Weinberge und alte Häuser mit Balkonen.
Danke für deinen Kommentar! Sehr cool, segeln ist etwas das steht seit Jahren auf meiner Wunschliste. Danke für den Tipp mit Icod de los Vinos, hab ich gerade auf meine Todo liste gesetzt.
@@UntraveledRoadsOfficial wie waers mit Barranco badajoz mit Übernachtung? wegen diesen Geschichten über paranormale Phänomene dort.
sehr coole idee, habs gerade auf die liste gesetzt
Top, to see youg people interested in art and history👍
Thanks for the great work💪
Thank you so much for your comment. Glad you liked this video 🤙🙌🙏
Hi Georg, what to say? Interesting story, wonderful pictures, curiosity and anticipation for the next ones to come.
Thank you very much, really glad to hear 😊 definitely many more to come 🙏
I've never known of the history of Teneriffe, looks like a wondeful place. Great video by the way😃✈
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes the canaries seem to have a really interesting history
Very beautiful place
Thank you. It really is
The music makes it difficult to hear or understand what you are saying. Love the video but the audio was not great. I have visited Tenerife and La Orotava, because my roots are from there. It was lovely to see Casa de los balconies. It's owned and run by family...MACHADO.
Hi, thanks for your comment, and the feedback. I fully agree with the sound and invested after the video in a better microphone and the audio overall should be improved. Nevertheless really glad you liked the video. Casa de los balconies was really beautiful to visit, hope you have soon a chance to visit again :-).
I'd like to help you more about the history of the islands....Most of the influence in the architecture is spanisch but a hard portuguese influence, cause they started and try the conquest before castelians....but a lot of portugueses came with Alonso Fernández de Lugo to start the new european live style, agriculture, architecture, culture, etc. Many madeirenses came for sugar cane plantations and nowaday we have a lot of portuguese words in our dialect....
Oh wow super interesting. The sugar caneplanations were maninly in Tenerife and Gran Canaria or .. ?
@@UntraveledRoadsOfficial from Madeira came to Gran Canaria with Pedro de Vera and then to Tenerife and la Palma....In Taganana People from Portugal started the cane plantations, today part of Taganana is called Portugal, sure by people from Madeira ...
thank you for saying this because when i saw many of the buildings in tenerife, they reminded of Madeira. Edit - I wrote that even before I saw you mentioned Madeira. I just saw the 'portuguese' comment.
You should've hit up Nine Coliving for a look inside a classic historical building in La Orotava.
Uh cool, thanks for the info. I am leaving now for La Gomera but as soon as I am back in Tenerife I will try to contact them. Looks amazing 😊🙏
Hey man, do you have any more suggestions i would really appreciate. I'm going to Tenerife in one or two weeks.
Thanks, great insights! You spoke a bit fast when it comes to the facts. Otherwise real good!
Thanks for your comment and the feedback 🙏
What's the name of the song that starts at 18:48 ?
Hi, I licensed the song vía Premiumbeat this is the song: www.premiumbeat.com/royalty-free-tracks/spanish-song hope this helps ☺
Very cool video but I think that it would have been better to use traditional canarian music instead of andalusian music.
You are fully right 🤓I think I dropped a clanger with the music choice. What are good recommendations from Canarian Music for me to listen in and to use it for the next video.
@@UntraveledRoadsOfficial Just search Los Sabandeños, Los Gofiones or just música tradicional canaria and you should find enough music.
Georg grüsgott , Madeira or canary islands ?
Hey, you mean where I am right now? I am now in Tenerife but leave soon to La Gomera
@@UntraveledRoadsOfficial where would you rather live , i mean , which argipeligo do you prefer ?
Thats a hard one but I think Madeira. It seems more quiet and less touristic. Even in the North of Tenerife it is very frequented. But there are some islands more to discover here in the Canaries. And also a different archipelago like Azores
History student here from Tenerife, I may correct you with some things you said!
The canarian people do have many similarities with the bereber people, but they are in fact not the same. It is believed that the ancient canarian culture comes from the ethnic north african group called "Canarii".
You said that those people who came here to the Canary Islands have a technology similar to a society from the stone age. This is in fact, not true, as modern studies have shown this first colonizers had in their posession metal pieces. It is believed that, without any big iron deposits in the canary islands, those people had to abandon metal-working technology, as it wasn't useful in their new enviorement.
Everything about canarian history is, in fact, more myth than history. As currently we don't have much way of knowing how were they organized exactly. We only have what the first European "saw" at arriving, but this is very inaccurate as further analysis of archelogical evidence have proven many of the claims made in those early writings to be somewhat false.
Btw, that guachinche you went to... Sorry to tell ya', but that's one of the most commercial ones. If you ask me, the best guachinches are those you can't even identify as a restaurant, even when walking in. Everything you said about guachinches was right but nowadays guachinches don't usually close depending on the time of the year or the current season. They usually stay open all year long.
Hey Spyrot, really thank you for your comment. Very interesting to hear, I will pin your comment since it might be very beneficial for other viewers. Indeed during my research I found different controversial sources. Very interesting though that there is so little known, do you know if there are researches going on? I would love to connect with some of them. If you know please hit me up on Instagram.
Again thank you very much for your comment
Do you know btw some good sources of books for me to read? I would love to dig deeper
@@UntraveledRoadsOfficial Most studies about the Canary Islands are sadly currently under investigation. Even today we still find archeological sites that give us a lot of information about the Canary Islands as a whole.
I currently and sadly cannot link you to any informative content about the Canary Islands pre-hispanic history as a whole, as I don't think there is any with current information. But I can maybe link you to some interesting research papers about the canary islands, altough they are in spanish.
Thanks, yes that would be great. 👍 😊Really appreciated
Hey Spyrot, I'm going to Tenerife soon, can you recommend some Guachinche? I would really appreciate.
"Good morning!" says the CZcamsr from bed, casually showing off his bare chest and manly tattoo. He's just filming himself naked in bed by chance, because he just happened to be in bed when he started filming.
Your pronunciation of English words is not the best, I don't understand if I'm listening to English or German. It sounds like you're mumbling. And on top of that vocal sound is low. Otherwise i would 3njoy the video much more
Hi, thank you for the feedback 🙌, you are right! It was one of my earlier videos and the tone and microphone quality as well as my moderation was not the best. Sadly it is not possible to change it anymore but as positive news: newer videos are better 🙃
@@UntraveledRoadsOfficial great, I'll check them up.
