The EL GUANCHE Alley
The alley that hosts Casa Juaclo is a small universe where art, agriculture, memory, and community coexist. A living space that is part of the neighborhood’s daily life.

El Guanche Alley presents itself as an active part of the town’s cultural and social fabric. The alley is part of a neighborhood revitalization project, promoting relationships with local residents, the collective care of the alley, the gardens, and the shared space. The guest not only arrives at a house but at a living ecosystem, where art, agriculture, memory, sustainability, and community coexist. The colors of the Isla de Ferró project appear as part of the place’s transformative experience.
The alley where Casa Juaclo is located is its own small universe, an intimate passage where rural life and creativity coexist unhurriedly. Here, every step uncovers something: wall typologies, a Chromatic Lithotheque that preserves the colors of the land of El Hierro as if they were a living archive, or the small exhibition room showcasing island folk life. The gardens, which grow in silence and offer their aromas and flavors to the visitor; the chicken coop, which signals the awakening each day; and the artistic interventions emerging between walls, corners, and plants—remind us that this alley is also a space for imagination.
That’s why the invitation is not only to sleep at Casa Juaclo but to live in and inhabit the alley: to sit on the terrace and listen to the breeze, to run your hand through the garden soil, to pause before an artwork that appears unexpectedly, to collect a freshly laid egg, or simply to observe how the light changes the silhouette of Montaña Tanajara throughout the day.
