La Orotava - My Own Private Photo Session in a Charming Town in Northern Tenerife

Tenerife has so many wonderful outdoor locations that I don't know where to start!

Well, let me start with a place in northern Tenerife - if you decide on a session in that area, I recommend the atmospheric old town with a beautiful garden where I love taking photos - La Orotava.

Want to see a story from this place?

Take a look at the photos.

I don't know if you have a good imagination, but I can already see you in these places, capturing your wonder, admiration, and joy of being in the beautiful corners of Tenerife.

Narrow streets surrounded by beautiful mountains, and clouds wrapping the peaks - this is La Orotava.

In La Orotava we met with another photographer - Ewelina Dalecka.

That's what I love about Tenerife - I can meet so many interesting people here!

We went on a so-called photographic walk.

I took photos of her and her husband, and she took photos of us.

I handled the editing myself.

La Orotava is one of the oldest cities in the Canary Islands.

Founded in the early 16th century, it's a city in the north of the island.

For this reason, you need to be prepared that the weather won't always be perfect there.

But you get something in return!

Thanks to this, it's beautifully green there.

I recommend you visit several spots in this city.

1. La Orotava city center - old town

In the background you can see the building that's located in the center of La Orotava - it's the City Hall :D

There are generally few cities in Tenerife where you can feel the atmosphere of an old town, narrow streets.

The south is relatively young, just 30 years ago there was almost nothing there.

It's precisely in the north where you can taste the flavor of the real Canary Islands.

As a curiosity, I'll mention that these photos were taken when there was snow on the volcano (which happens very rarely), and it was also rainy in La Orotava ;) For us, this is an advantage - because you rarely get to experience something like that :D

2. From the center, walk through the streets deeper into La Orotava - allow yourself to wander

I showed you the center in the previous photos.

But it's worth giving yourself some space and time to enter the side streets.

There you'll encounter views like these.

Colorful buildings with lots of greenery.

Here we have a bit of silliness :D the whole quintessence of lifestyle photography ;)

I wouldn't be myself if I didn't edit a few photos in black and white photography style with lots of grain

3. Visit the Victoria Garden

It's a beautiful place where you can drink coffee and admire the beautiful views of the well-maintained garden.

I'll show you a few shots from this place.

Bird of Paradise flower - Strelitzia :)

Perhaps this greenery doesn't enchant you as much as it does me, someone who has lived in southern Tenerife for several years and has a deficit of everything green.

But admit that it's beautiful!

The walk ended with several photos that delight my eyes.

I want to show you through this that I, as a photographer, also make sure to have keepsakes.

So, shall we meet for a session in La Orotava? ;)
