The town of "La Matanza" lies in the green north of Tenerife, between Tacoronte and Puerto de la Cruz, right in the middle of the sunny region of the North, which also includes El Sauzal. Tourists can still find typical rural bodegas with good local cuisine, or simply to have a glass of wine with the locals. One the weekends, you can also take advantage of the local farmers´ market in La Matanza, a great opportunity to purchase fresh fruit, vegetables, wine and other produce from local farms.
In the town itself there is a range of
shops to cover all day to day needs. The South Airport is about 80 km
away, and the North Airport about 20 km. The capital, Santa Cruz, is
around 35 km away and Puerto de la Cruz, about 15 km.

of La Matanza, and nestles in a tropical garden with palms, cacti,
avocadoes and lemon trees.
