TownsIcod de los Vinos

Icod de los Vinos is best known for the Drago Milenario, the island’s oldest and largest dragon tree, and for the old town around the Plaza de la Pila with its traditional houses. As the name says, wine has been grown here for centuries.

The town spreads down the slope to Playa de San Marcos, a small black-sand beach in a cove. It is a calm place with a local economy, far from mass tourism, and Teide stands directly behind it.

The place. The one town on this coast with no coast of its own. El Tanque sits inland at about 600 metres, on steep slopes between Icod and the Erjos pass. It is rural, green and quiet, with long views down to the sea.

What's for sale. Mostly detached houses with land, at some of the lowest prices per square metre in this guide. Plots and sizes vary a lot, so the averages tell you little about any one house.

Market movement. We have counted this town only since 13 October, too short to read a trend. So far, out of 19 homes: left the portal 2, price cut 3.

Who it suits. People who want land, space and cooler air, and are happy to drive for almost everything else. It is also a practical base for reaching the south by the western route.

Check before buying.

Rural land classification matters more here than anywhere else in this guide. Ask what is legally built and what can be added.
Look at the road access in winter, and at how the house handles cloud and damp at this altitude.

The place. The working capital of the north-west, home to the famous dragon tree and a protected old centre. It is a proper town of almost 25,000 people, and one of the fastest-growing in this guide over the past ten years. It runs from the coast at San Marcos up through farmland to the lava-tube country around Cueva del Viento.

What's for sale. The biggest choice in the west, led by detached houses on land, often with room for fruit trees or vines. Flats cluster at the coast at San Marcos and in town. Prices are low for the north: this is where a modest budget still buys a house with a plot.

Market movement. Of 167 homes listed on 16 September, 11% had left the portal by 1 November and 16% had cut their price (typically by 6.3%). Another 43 new listings were still for sale on 1 November.

Portal price index. The portal's own index for the town was +2.0% over the year to May 2026, at about €1,480 per m². This is an index of what sellers ask, and it swings in small markets.

Rents. 18 flats listed for rent ask a typical €880 a month for 101 m². Per square metre, that is about 5.1% a year of the typical flat's asking price, before costs and tax.

Who it suits. Residents who want space on a real budget, families who want services nearby, and buyers in the west who need a hospital and big supermarkets close by.

Check before buying.

Roughly one listed detached house in seven needed renovation at our October count, so a low price can hide a large bill.
The road east narrows beyond Los Realejos, so check your actual drive at rush hour.
Rural plots vary widely in legal status.

The place. A hillside town between Icod and San Juan de la Rambla, climbing from the coast into farmland and up to the pine forest. It is lived in by local families, with little tourism.

What's for sale. Very little: 15 homes, mostly houses with generous floor space. It has few flats. Notary sale prices for houses here are higher than in most of the neighbouring towns, but only 26 houses sold in the year, so the figure can move easily.

Market movement. We have counted this town only since 13 October, too short to read a trend. So far, out of 15 homes: left the portal 0, price cut 0.

Who it suits. Buyers who want a local town and a house with room, within reach of the valley and La Villa.

Check before buying.

Altitude: homes in the upper part of town are cooler and cloudier than the map suggests.
With so few homes for sale, one listing can change the picture, so don't lean on the averages.

The place. A small town in two parts: the old coastal settlements of San Juan, La Rambla and Las Aguas with its sea pool, and San José, Las Rosas and La Vera on the hillside above. It is close to the Orotava valley but far quieter.

What's for sale. Just eight homes on 1 November, so treat every average here as a rough guide. Notary figures are a better read: houses sold for an average of about €162,000 over the year and flats for about €119,000, but only 25 sales in total.

Who it suits. Buyers who want a quiet coastal village, with La Villa and the valley's services under 20 minutes away.

Check before buying.

Sea-facing homes on this stretch sit on steep ground. Check access, retaining walls and the Coastal Law position.
Expect to wait and search off the portals: with this little on offer, local contacts matter.

How long the licence takes

If you want to build or renovate, this is the biggest variable, and it depends almost entirely on the town hall. These are our estimates, not measurements.

How to read the numbers

Homes for sale is what we counted on the main property portal on 1 November 2026. A home listed twice at the same size and price counts once.
Typical asking price is the middle listing: half ask more, half ask less. The middle-half range cuts off the cheapest and dearest quarters.
Recorded sale prices come from Spain's notaries: an average over the 12 months up to about late summer 2026. Notaries see every sale, including older homes that never reach the portals, and very expensive sales are underweighted. So the gap between sale and asking figures is not the discount a buyer should expect. It mostly shows that the two sets contain different homes.
Market movement runs from the first week we had a complete count of the town. A home that left the portal may have sold, or the owner may have withdrawn it. Eight towns have about six weeks of history; nine have under three, which is too short to read anything into.
Drive times are calculated routes in free-flowing traffic. Allow more at rush hour, especially on the TF-5.
Rents are asking rents, shown only where at least 10 flats were listed.

What applies in every town

Holiday lets. The Canary Islands law of December 2025 (Law 6/2025) changed the sums for anyone buying for holiday income. Do not assume a home can be let to tourists because the seller does it today.

A new holiday let on residential land needs a home at least 10 years old, unless the town's plan lowers that.
Where a town has no specific plan, holiday-let beds are capped at 10% of the residents in each population centre and each census section. Detached homes are allowed in principle. Rural settlements have their own density limits. Municipalities classed as facing depopulation get softer limits (five years and 20%).
A building's statutes or its owners' vote can rule it out.
New permissions last five years and then need renewing.
Holiday lets already registered have transition rules: owners who run their own can apply to keep the use within five years, and others have five years, extendable to ten at most in specific cases.
A declared stressed housing zone suspends new holiday lets automatically.

Each town is still working out its own plan, so ask the town hall about the specific address.

Near the sea. Spain's Coastal Law restricts building and renovation in a strip behind the shoreline, generally 100 metres and 20 metres in some older urban areas. Check before buying anything close to the water.

Rural land. The north has many houses on farm terraces. What you may build, extend or legalise depends on how the land is classed, so check with the town's planning office before you rely on any extension or plot potential.

Weather. The north coast is greener, cloudier and more humid than the south, and mild all year. Altitude matters more than the map suggests: a few hundred metres uphill can mean more cloud and cooler evenings. Damp is a real point to check in older houses.
