Parador Hotel Canadas del Teide

Going to the Parador of Canadas del Teide, you will spend your holidays atop a crater almost 2,000 metres above sea level.

The island of the "Eternal Spring" with its unequalled climate, offers enormous contrasts and a wide variety of landscapes in its different areas.

The Parador invites the guests to contemplate impressive panoramic views of the Teide cone, the Chaorra crater, and the White Mountain.

It is the only building within the National Park of El Teide and its interior recreates the ambiance of a mountain lodge both in the public rooms and bedrooms.

The Parador restaurant specialises in the exquisite and original Canary cuisine. The chef particularly recommends: "Puchero canario" which is a Canary Island stew;
"Conejo al salmorejo" a succulent dish based on rabbit meat;
"Papas arrugadas y mojos" which are potatoes cooked in their skins; It is worth to go to the town of La Laguna which is declared as the Heritage of Mankind. Visit the monumental towns of Villa de la Orotava and Garachico or to the History, Science, and Cosmos Museums.

If you are fond of plants, you should become familiar with the Millenary Drago (autoctonous tree) in Icod de los Vinos, and the botanical garden in Puerto de la Cruz.

Tenerife, the ”Eternal Spring island”, offers you many examples of the Canary Islands folklore. The feast of the carpets and the ”Romeria” celebrated in the village of La Orotava, some 28 miles from the Parador are worth a visit.

If you enjoy hiking, Mount Teide offers you an unmatched environment. Also worth visiting are the natural parks of Anaga and Teno.

With the clear airs of this mountain top being above most of the earths atmosphere, it is a good place for astronomers to view the heavens and the Parador has a telescope for the use of the guests.
