The urbanization “La Quinta” is a place to walk, stroll and have fun in one of the best areas of Santa Úrsula near the Acentejo coast. We can go from a giantess with flowers to the coast; enjoy the greenery and colours of the “Jardín Social”, as well as the blue of the sea, which can be seen from the cliffs. It is a unique opportunity. Reach the cliff, see the La Quinta bunker and contemplate a land that was inhabited by the Guanches, a vestige of the Guanches and of agriculture. There is a remarkable wine press at the entrance to this area.
Canarian Wine Press
Viticulture in Tenerife was aided early on by the decline of the sugar trade that was brought about by competition from the Antillian colonies. These vine crops, however, were also subject to fierce rivalry from products from mainland Spain, and the Spanish landowners managed to curb exports of the Canarian products; this did not, however, prevent that companies on the island harvested great crops of different varieties.

La Quinta Social Garden – La Giganta (The Giantess)
The city council commissioned the company Wisteria Paisajismo to carry out this vertical garden, characterized by the combination of a 4-meter-high stone giantess in the plant complex, which blends in with the landscape. The sculpture emerges from a rocky bed and appears in a sitting position, combining artificial materials such as cement with a permanent plant cover. In a short time the figure has become an emblem and an obligatory stop in the municipality. (More information)

During the Second World War, defensive batteries were built in different parts of the island of Tenerife to defend against a possible attack from sea. This one is smaller than the one in San Andrés in Santa Cruz; from here you can enjoy magnificent views. (More information)
