La Resbala: Heritage and Canarian Architecture

When planning a hotel trip to La Resbala, you can start by considering which themes matter to you: protected heritage, Canarian architecture, nature, or sport and leisure. The specific places and facilities mentioned here each have a different focus.

Protected Site and Historic Buildings

On Tenerife, El Barranco de Acentejo is protected as an Asset of Cultural Interest in the Historic Site category, within the municipalities of La Matanza de Acentejo and La Victoria de Acentejo. In La Resbala, the upper protected section extends as far as the Camino de San Juan.

El Calvario lies near La Resbala, at the beginning of the Barranco’s course; it was built in 1954. The building adds a distinct, precisely dated historical landmark to the protected site.

Casa de D. Miguel y Familia Febles Oliva is also a point of interest for culture enthusiasts: it is considered an example of traditional Canarian architecture. Casa de Doña Sixta has a traditional wine press and a covered cistern. The two houses therefore highlight different aspects: the first is notable for its architectural classification, while the second has the two specific architectural features mentioned.

El Montillo: Landscape and Planned Areas

El Montillo covers about 60,000 square metres and is one of the last habitats of the protected beetle subspecies Pimelia radula radula. A Fayal-Brezal forest is nearby. These features also make the landscape appealing to travellers interested in nature and species conservation.

Plans for El Montillo include hiking trails and areas for play, recreation and leisure. An area for interpreting its ecological, historical and ethnographic values is also planned. A path on Montaña La Bandera has been restored.

Sport and Leisure at Complejo Deportivo La Matanza

Complejo Deportivo La Matanza offers several specific ways to enjoy sport and exercise. According to the address provided, the facility is located at C. La Resbala s/n in La Matanza de Acentejo. Check the access arrangements before visiting.

The facility includes six covered padel courts and two multi-purpose pools measuring 38 and 25 metres long, respectively. There is also a hydrotherapy pool with water features and jets for rehabilitation and muscle relaxation. The pools are available for general use and are also used for aquatic therapy and water aerobics.

The gym is available for general use and equipped with strength-training and cardio equipment. There are changing rooms in the pool and gym areas, and the facility also has an area offering rehabilitation services. The football pitch and municipal pavilion are right next door. The various facilities therefore differ in both their uses and their equipment.

Local Events and Leisure

Zona Recreativa El Pirul is a free public recreation area with parking, tables and seating. Mercadillo del Agricultor, la Artesanía y el Vino hosts fairs and events focused on winegrowing, chestnut growing, local cuisine and crafts. These craft and culinary themes complement the cultural, historical and natural aspects you can take into account when planning your trip.
