A break in a rural hotel in Tenerife is available through Corona Holidays departing 10th December 2013 from London Luton for seven nights. The price for 2 adults is from only £413 per person.
(TRAVPR.COM) UK - October 8th, 2013 - You will be staying at the La Quinta Roja Hotel located in the rural town of Garachico in Tenerife, next to the former convent of San Francisco. During a devastating fire that occurred just after the 1706 volcanic eruption, the nuns from the convent took refuge for many years in the former old house before moving back to the convent following reconstruction work. Legend has it that one of the nuns died in the house and her spirit has be seen walking the gallery and looking out of one of the windows.
The former mansion that dates back to the 17th century was converted into into La Quinta Roja Hotel, and can be found right on the church square. Full of old-world charm, the hotel has an abundance of traditional features including being built from Canarian stone and with an interior patio surrounded by wooden balconies, and around which the 40 rooms are situated.
Venture out into the town of Garachico from La Quinta Roja Hotel and you will find narrow cobbled streets, fishermen’s cottages and old houses. Head down to the port and you will notice that the shore is very rocky. This is due to the fact that Garachico was party destroyed by a volcanic eruption that occurred in 1706. Two streams of lava entered the town and made their way down to the sea, filling the harbour mouth.
For the best view of the town and to have a glimpse of where the 2 lava flows ran through Garachico, you will need to walk up to the Mirador. Be sure to take your camera as there are plenty of photographic opportunities as you wind your way through the town.
The offer at La Quinta Roja Hotel is on bed and breakfast and is priced from only £413 per person based on two sharing seven nights’ accommodation in a double/twin room, and includes return flights from London Luton commencing the 10 December 2013 – [other dates and airports are available].
