La Guancha, Tenerife Holidays in La Guancha
 In the north west 500 metres above sea level is the small town and municipality of La Guancha. Off the main tourist map, it is easy to find peace and tranquility here.
In earlier times La Guancha was much admired for its ceramics.
These days the village is perhaps better known for the quality of its white wine, which is produced under the Ycoden-Daute-Isora 'Denominacíon de Origen' and is noted for its golden colour and unusual taste.
The village church dates from the 17th century and is known for its Baroque altar and some fine religious relics.
The forest tracks around La Guancha offer some different views of Teide and a recently created recreation area at El Lagar includes barbecue facilities and a children's playground.
The big towns of Icod de los Vinos and Puerto de la Cruz are within easy reach of La Guancha.
