La Oratava and House of Balconies Photos.

We walked up a steep hill in La Oratava to visit the House of Balconies. Luckily, I had my friend Rosa with me to help me up the road & check that I was okay.

In this photo of the Tenerife landscape, you can see Mount Teidi in the background, rising above the other mountains.

An alleyway runs between houses in La Oratava & winds its way down the mountainside.

A view from near the Town Hall in La Oratava looks over the homes & buildings below as the mountainside goes down to meet the Atlantic Ocean below.

The beautiful courtyard in the House of Balconies reminded me of buildings in the film, Pirates of the Caribbean.
