Santa Úrsula’s architectural style is a blend of colonial Canarian influence with modern developments. The town center is dotted with traditional Canarian houses featuring wooden balconies, whitewashed walls, and vibrant floral displays. One of the most notable architectural gems is the Iglesia de Santa Úrsula, a beautiful church that stands as a testament to the town’s historical and religious significance.
Beyond its charming streets, Santa Úrsula is a gateway to some of Tenerife’s natural wonders. The Mirador de Humboldt offers panoramic views of the La Orotava Valley and the ocean, making it a perfect spot for sightseeing and photography. The surrounding countryside also provides access to several hiking trails, including routes through the Anaga Rural Park and the forested slopes of the Teide National Park, where visitors can enjoy nature at its finest.
For more laid-back activities, Santa Úrsula has nearby vineyards where visitors can tour and sample Tenerife’s unique wines. The area is also home to many “guachinches,” traditional Canarian restaurants often housed in rural settings, where visitors can enjoy local cuisine and soak in the authentic atmosphere.
