Description: This house was built in 1935 and Manuel and Lucia, a couple dedicated to agriculture and cattle breeding, and embroidery, lived there until not long ago.
In 2004 the house was restored for rural tourism purposes, converting it into two completely separate houses, one on each floor.
Worth mentioning is the fact that the majority of the pieces of furniture are restored, and even some of the paintings that decorate the walls have been embroidered by the owner following family traditions.![]() |  |

This house is situated some 4.8km from the equestrian centre “La Vaquera”, in San Isidro, where horse trekking routes are organised.

In the immediate surrounding areas of this rural house you find the “Cruz de La Sociedad”, which took its name from the place where years ago the villagers used to go to dance and meet up. This cross forms part of the “Ruta de Las Cruces” (Route of the Crosses) through the old Country Routes that are very popular in the island and that on the 3rd May every year enjoy their moment of maximum splendour.
Other places of interest nearby are for example: the recreational area of “Pared Vieja” and the “Dragos Gemelos” (where the legend of the two brothers under the spell of the same woman comes from…). |
