Jardines del Marquesado de la Quinta Roja (Jardines Victoria)
Terraced romantic-Victorian gardens in the historic centre of La Orotava, with views over the valley and Teide, and free entry.
The Jardines del Marquesado de la Quinta Roja, also known as Jardines Victoria, are a set of terraced gardens in the romantic-Victorian style in the historic centre of La Orotava. At their heart stands a white marble mausoleum in Masonic style dedicated to the Quinta Roja family, a striking feature that has made them one of the most photographed green spaces in the north of the island.
From the terraces you can take in views of the Valle de La Orotava and the Teide, ideal for a quiet stroll. Entry is free, so you can wander unhurried among the flowerbeds and steps and stay for the best light.
