Finca Ecológica
About
In Tenerife, Finca Ecológica - Granja El Carretón occupies Cam. el Taro, s/n, 38550 Arafo, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Set inland in Arafo, in the island's south-eastern uplands, the finca is an attraction that draws visitors away from the coast and into the countryside. It is known for its ecological approach, and that standing is reflected in a 4.3 out of 5 average across 315 reviews, a figure that suggests a steady flow of visitors over time. First-time visitors should expect a working rural setting rather than a resort stay, with the pace set by the farm itself. Its website, at http://www.fincaelcarreton.com/, carries the finca's own information.
Spring and autumn bring warm days with fewer visitors, and the north of Tenerife is cloudier than the south. Gofio, a toasted grain flour, appears in island breads, stews and desserts, and it is worth trying while on Tenerife. Spanish is the language most people speak, with a vocabulary of its own.
Costa Adeje and Playa de las Américas lie among the nearby places, and the finca's inland position in Arafo places it away from the busiest coastal resorts. The 315 reviews and the 4.3 average point to a venue that has built its following steadily. For anyone weighing a visit, the finca's own website remains the most direct source of information.
