Casa Los Cáceres is an old townhouse on Plaza de la Constitución, in the centre of Icod de los Vinos on Tenerife. The building houses the Funcanorte municipal music school together with an art gallery of modern and contemporary work, which visitors can walk through on weekdays. The rooms keep their old wooden floors. The house stands close to the town's famous dragon tree, and the two fit easily into one visit.

What makes it special
Wooden floorboards run through the rooms of Casa Los Cáceres, and the walls carry modern and contemporary art. The building leads a second life as the municipal music school, which keeps it in daily use.
Many of the old houses in Icod de los Vinos are private property and stay shut to visitors. This one lets you inside. It faces Plaza de la Constitución, and anyone who has come to town for the dragon tree (Drago Milenario) can fold it into the same outing.
