From La Palma to the South of Tenerife
Finca Las Margaritas was born in 1977 thanks to the effort and the illusion of Adolfo Guerra Gonzalez and Margarita Hernandez Perez, a family with palm tree roots that came to Las Galletas, in the south of Tenerife, The farm was founded with the dream of growing bananas in a volcanic and challenging territory. Over time, the farm became not only a place for agricultural work, but also a space to share knowledge, history and love for the land.
