Retreat location
La Tejana is located on 1,000 square meters of land. It was built at the end of the 19th century. The house is made of stone, beams of tea, and wood of Riga, with a roof that preserves the old Canary tile that was used 180 years ago in the initial construction. The environment has pleasant meeting spaces with different environments both indoors and outdoors that facilitate meetings, friendship, and a relaxed atmosphere, becoming an ideal place whether you decide to spend your holidays alone or accompanied.
In La Tejana, they are very committed to the environment. Looking to have the least impact on the ecosystem. In the Canary Islands, there are almost half of the species of endemic flora in Spain and a large number of animal species that have the same condition. It is for this reason that they follow some rules that allow them to live in harmony with the natural environment.
