Casa de Los Balcones & Molino de Gofio: Twin ticket with free parking

The Canary Islands' most significant wooden balcony sits inside a 17th-century house you can walk through room by room.

A combined ticket to two cultural buildings in La Orotava: Casa de Los Balcones, a 17th-century house-museum centered on the archipelago's most important wooden balcony, and the Molino de Gofio del Hoyo, a 17th-century gofio mill inside a Cultural Monument. Both include admission and multilingual audio guides in English, Spanish, French and German. You move through each at your own pace, choosing when to linger over the exhibits and when to move on.

The experience

Casa de Los Balcones anchors the ticket. The balcony itself (the work of wood that defines Canarian architecture) dominates the front of the building, but the real draw is inside: detailed exhibits walk you through Canarian traditions and how the families who built this place actually lived. The audio guide carries you through in the language you choose, and you set the speed. Ground floor and interior patio are fully accessible. The first floor is not, and the second floor is closed to wheelchair users.

The Molino de Gofio del Hoyo sits a short distance away, housed in a building the regional government designated a Cultural Monument. Gofio, roasted grain ground into flour, was the staple food of the Canary Islands for centuries, and this mill shows how it was made and how the miller's family lived around the work. The same audio guide system lets you move through at your own pace, and the ground floor is wheelchair accessible.

Both buildings are open to all fitness levels and children are welcome with an adult. You'll need to bring a printed voucher or show your phone reservation at the door to enter. Parking is free, and public transportation stops nearby if you don't have a car. The visit typically takes between one and three hours depending on how long you spend in each space.
