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.

La Guancha is a small village far away from mass-tourism. For tourists it hasn't much to offer but its a good place to live.
