Jardín Sitio Litre, Historic garden in Puerto de la Cruz, Spain
The Sitio Litre garden spans across landscaped grounds featuring numerous tropical plants, pathways, and a colonial-style mansion with a hexagonal watchtower.
Established in 1730, the garden was purchased by Archibald Little in 1774, who transformed the property into a leisure destination with British gardening influences.
The garden served as a residence for notable visitors including Alexander von Humboldt, Agatha Christie, and Richard Francis Burton during their stays in Tenerife.
The garden welcomes visitors daily, offering guided tours through its grounds and providing detailed information about its extensive orchid collection.
The property contains the largest and oldest dragon tree in Puerto de la Cruz, alongside the most extensive orchid collection in Tenerife.
