Join me on a cultural walk through the farming village of Icod el Alto in Tenerife, a place rich in history and agricultural traditions. Starting from the heart of the village, we’ll trace the historic Royal Road—a centuries-old path that connects the island—while exploring the customs that have shaped life in the Canary Islands. Along the way, you’ll learn about Tenerife’s unique history, its economic roots, and the cultural and natural heritage that makes the Canary Islands so distinct.
Icod el Alto holds the honor of being the birthplace of the famous Canary potato, with 29 varieties that are protected and nurtured by local families since the 17th century. On this tour, you’ll discover sustainable and ecological farming methods that keep these unique potato varieties distinct from commercial seed banks, preserving a local treasure for future generations.
This tour is perfect for those looking to inmerse into Tenerife’s traditions and experience the island’s rural life up close. Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or as a couple, this small-group experience (limited to 4-6 people) offers a personal and in-depth look into Tenerife’s agricultural history and culture. Come see the Canary Islands through a local’s eyes and connect with the heart of the island’s heritage.
Sometimes you will meet me, Adal, and sometimes you will meet my partner, Sara. Both of us are Official Guides of the Canary Islands
Icod el Alto is a small village of the municipality of Los Realejos. We meet under the flags next to the church (Parroquia Ntra. Sra. del Buen Viaje). The guide carries a guide license around the neck.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
