Less monumental and more discrete than La Casa de los Balcones, the actual Casa del Turista, previously the Molina Convent, was built by Francisco de Molina Y Lopez de las Doblas, and belonged to his family for centuries.
In the second half of the XIX century, it became an establishment dedicated to the care and training of fighting cocks, until it came into the hands of the present owners, Mr & Mrs Schönfeldt & Machado.
The “plasteresque” stonework doorway highlights the façade of this two-storey building. In the lower part of the base and at the end of the cornice there is an oval shaped leaf adornment.
The very narrow uncovered balcony, with its beautifully and delicately carved balustrades, has a stonework base with ornamented sides, and the interior part is decorated with a grooved line.
La Casa del Turista is a souvenir paradise where the best handicraft and typical agricultural products from the Canary Islands can be found.
