This interesting complex, owned by the Marchioness of Arucas, is around 500 yards from the town centre, on the road from Arucas to Bañaderos. It houses a small palace dating from 1880. The house was designed in a Romantic style and is arranged symmetrically. The ornate principal facade is of particular interest.

"The Hesperides" Tropical Garden

Although its name is taken from Greek mythology and refers to the westernmost point in the world, identifying them with the Canary Islands, the origins of this garden, a local and international botanical jewel, go back to over a century ago. It contains one of the most complete collections of tropical and sub-tropical flora which its creator, the Marquis of Arucas, collected over the years until he was able to create, thanks to the microclimate in the historical town of Arucas, an ideal habitat for the development of the over 2,500 species currently on show, many of which are now extinct elsewhere. Theatmosphere in the garden is a combination of the Romanticism of the time when it was designed and the use of modern techniques to grow the different tropical fruits that surround it.

The garden is divided into two clearly different areas: a recent area, just a few years old, and an older area surrounding the garden palace.
