The El Sauzal beach is to a sunbather what Casa del Vino la Baranda wine museum is to a wine lover. El Sauzal is surrounded by vineyards. Located at the heart of Tenerife’s wine-producing area, El Sauzal offers families and couples plenty of opportunities to explore the island and take strolls in the lush gardens. The Casa del Vino la Baranda exhibits 150 wines of Tenerife. During summers, the wine museum also holds musical concerts. So, if wine tasting over classical music appeals to you, take a trip to El Sauzal anytime during May and September. But winters may slightly be more tempting. There’s nothing like beating the London chill under the warm Canarian winter sun.

The El Sauzal town is quaint, unspoiled and friendly. White-washed villas, churches, flowering gardens and plazas give El Sauzal an endearing old-world charm. Places worth visiting around El Sauzal include the La Laguna university town located 10kms east and the historic La Orotava town 10kms south of El Sauzal. For those who’d like a glimpse of it, La Orotava is full of colonial structures and cobbled streets.
