Travel with me to the Canary Islands. Magical Tenerife. Orchid Garden Sitio Litre

in Worldmappin6 months ago

Sunny greetings from the arch of Spain. Summer is in full swing. This means that the time has come for long-awaited vacations and fun weekends. We never sit still, but on the contrary, we always discover new and interesting places. One of these places is the Orchid Garden of Sitio Litre.

This garden is located on the Spanish island of Tenerife in the city of Puerto de La Cruz. Walking through the ancient streets of the city we find ourselves at the gate of the garden. Having purchased tickets, we go inside. Everything here is new to us: flowers, trees, bushes, cacti. Completely different nature on this island.

It is very pleasant to walk in the garden. Under the shade of trees you can hide from the scorching sun. On the territory of the park there is a small pond with voracious fish. These fish can be fed for 50 cents. A little further into the park there is a cozy cafe.

In this park, in addition to a huge number of orchids, pineapple, and strange flowers, you can see a special exhibit - a huge dragon tree, which is 600 years old.

It’s also very interesting and noteworthy that this is a private park. This territory belongs to a simple family and they allow you to visit this garden for a small fee (about 4 euros per person).

This garden once captured the heart of Agatha Christie. This writer came to this family with her daughter and wrote two novels here. The owners of the garden even made a special corner in this garden where Agatha Christie loved to relax.

The estate itself with the garden was built back in 1730. Initially, they planned to make a monastery there, and for about 40 years there were monastic cells there. But then the estate fell into disrepair and it was bought by one very rich man, Archibald Little. Since then and to this day, the estate bears his name.

If you come to Tenerife one day in the city of Puerto de la Cruz, be sure to visit this garden. Walk along the beautiful and shady streets, feed the fish and just enjoy the walk.
