Crowds and carpet makers in one of the streets, Calle del Colegio, in the town of La Orotava during the Day of the Carpets (that celebrate Corpus Christi) in 2006. The cream building down on the left is the Casa Lercaro. Also known as the Casa de Ponte-Fonte, this 16th and 17th century mansion is considered by many to be the most representative building of traditional Canary Island style. It has fine Baroque decoration on the woodwork, especially on the balconies. Today, in four distinct areas, the salon restaurant (which gets a nice write up here in the Telegraph), cafe/tearoom, patio and winebar, the establishment caters for coctails, conventions, galas, weddings and the occasional concert. Read and see more about the Casa Lercaro here and at the Casa de los Balcones website.
