The stately buildings in the street Tomás Zerolo were built around the ravine, the main source of natural wealth. The street is characterised by its steep slope and its buildings contain architectural elements dating from the 16th to the 19th centuries. The cobblestones, however, date from the beginning of the 20th century and were part of the urban reform of La Orotava at the height of the commercial boom.

This street is dominated by houses in the traditional Canarian style, but there are two that add Mudejar elements to the traditional style: Casa Prieto Mendoza, at number 22, and Casa Benítez de Lugo, further down, at number 19. Mudejarism was the dominant architectural style in the Christian kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula between the 12th and 16th centuries, easily recognisable in the decorative elements, mainly geometric. In the Canary Islands we find elements of Mudejarism in the following centuries. In the Prieto Mendoza house, dating from the end of the 18th century, these elements can be found mainly in the woodwork on the doors and windows.

At number 19, the Machado y Benítez de Lugo house, dating from the 17th century, is also decorated with Mudejar elements. In this building lived Felipe Machado Benítez de Lugo, one of the most prominent personalities from the second half of the 19th century.

A successful agricultural businessman, politician, musician and artist, he is mainly known for his contribution to carpet making. Since the middle of the 20th century, carpets of flowers have been made in La Orotava without interruption to celebrate the Corpus Christi festival, and this tradition has become one of the main attractions and hallmarks of the municipality.

As an agricultural entrepreneur, Felipe Machado Benítez de Lugo began with the cultivation of cochineal, a natural dye of animal origin, which declined at the end of the 19th century with the widespread use of chemical dyes. Later, he foresaw the great profitability of the banana and was one of the driving forces behind this crop, which transformed the landscape of the islands.

He was also one of the main promoters of the unified management model of the island known as Cabildo Insular, becoming its vice-president.

We now continue down the street until we reach the Church of Santo Domingo.

In order to keep the house, stays of more than 15 days must pay an additional cleaning fee outside the total booking cost.
