SALUDOS! – WELCOME
to the internet website of the historic finca LAS CAÑITAS.
The three buildings which comprise the finca were built in the early 18th century, in the so-called sugar cane period. This explains its name, CAÑITAS – the canes.
If you wish to order a small draught beer on Tenerife, you ask for “una cania por favor!”, which translated means “a small tube please!”, as a synonym for a cane shaped glass.
The original house and the Casa Syndical have been historically preserved while the secondary buildings have become the Casa Azul. The whole finca has been lovingly historically restored and extended by Claudio.
Now one can spend wonderfully peaceful and relaxing or even active holidays while enjoying the stunning views of the sea and the Teide.
