Icod de Los Vinos – The Town
Situated in the northern part of Tenerife, the picturesque town of Icod de los Vinos beckons with its charm, rich history, and breathtaking landscapes. Renowned for its ancient dragon tree and robust wine culture, this town offers a delightful blend of tradition and natural beauty.
At the heart of Icod de los Vinos stands the iconic Drago Milenario, a millennial dragon tree that has become the emblem of the town. This ancient specimen, believed to be over a thousand years old, captivates visitors with its sheer size and mythical presence. The tree’s gnarled branches stretch skyward, creating a canopy that provides a cool respite from the warm Tenerife sun. The Plaza de la Constitución, a bustling square surrounded by historic buildings, serves as the perfect vantage point to marvel at the Drago Milenario and soak in the town’s atmosphere.
Wandering through the town’s cobbled streets, visitors encounter charming colonial-style architecture that reflects Icod de los Vinos’ deep-rooted history.
The Church of San Marcos, a striking example of Canarian Baroque architecture, graces the town with its imposing facade and intricate detailing. Dating back to the 16th century, the church stands as a testament to the town’s enduring religious and cultural heritage.
Icod de los Vinos is not just a town of monuments; it’s also a hub for wine enthusiasts. The town’s viticulture dates back centuries, and its vineyards produce some of Tenerife’s finest wines. Visitors can explore local bodegas (wineries) to sample a variety of wines, including the unique malvasía, a sweet wine that has become a specialty of the region. Wine tours offer a delightful immersion into the art of winemaking, allowing guests to appreciate the meticulous process that transforms grapes into the nectar of the gods.
The town’s cultural richness is celebrated in its museums and galleries. The Cueva del Viento, one of the largest volcanic caves in the world, offers a fascinating underground journey through ancient lava tubes. Visitors can explore the intricate formations that bear witness to the geological forces that shaped Tenerife. The Museo de Arte Sacro showcases religious art, providing insight into the spiritual life of the community over the centuries.
For those seeking panoramic views, Icod de los Vinos offers vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and the neighbouring island of La Palma. The Mirador de la Playa de San Marcos, a viewpoint overlooking the San Marcos beach, provides a breathtaking tableau of the coastline. The surrounding landscapes, characterised by lush vegetation and rolling hills, invite exploration, with hiking trails leading to hidden gems like the charming village of La Cueva.
The town comes alive during its festivals, where locals and visitors alike participate in lively celebrations. The Festival of San Andrés in November sees the streets adorned with colourful carpets made of flowers and dyed salt, paying homage to the patron saint of vineyards and nighttime sees people of many ages flying down the cobbled streets on wooden sleds. The atmosphere is electric with traditional music, dance, and the clinking of glasses filled with local wines.
Icod de los Vinos is not merely a destination; it’s an immersive experience that invites travellers to savour the essence of Tenerife’s northern charm. With its ancient dragon tree, historic landmarks, flourishing vineyards, and warm community spirit, this town captures the heart and soul of the island, making it a must-visit for those seeking an authentic Tenerife experience.
