of its kind, known as Franchy\u2019s Dragon tree because it grew in the magnificent garden that this family owned in Villa de La Orotava. According to tradition, this imposing Dragon tree was sacred for the Guanches (Tenerife aboriginals), who met in council or \u2018tagoror\u2019 under its splendid treetop to enact laws, administer justice and crown the Taoro Mencey<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">(aboriginal ruler of this area), when the previous one died. During the coronation ceremony the new Mencey kissed a bone of his earliest ancestor while repeating \u2018Ago\u00f1e Yacaron Y\u00f1atzaha\u00f1a Chaco\u00f1amet\u2019 (I swear on your bones the day you became great). In 1496, next to it, a mass was celebrated to commemorate the definitive conquest of the island and it served as point of reference in the division of lands among the conquerors.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 13px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Titillium Web', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">&nbsp;Much has been written about the age of the historic Dragon tree. Some authors of past centuries (Humboldt, Piazzi-Smyth, who installed the first telescope in Mount Teide in the middle of the nineteenth century, etc.), attributed it several thousand years, but although we will never know for sure, there is no doubt it was more than one thousand years old. In the mid-eighteenth century it was about 20 metres high and the perimeter of its base measured around 25. The<\/span><span style=\"color: red;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">trunk became narrower as it ascended up to a height of 6 metres, where twelve large branches sprung.

In its treetop a large wooden platform was built, and people could access by means of a comfortable exterior staircase.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height: 360px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 6px; width: 323px; float: right;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.laorotava.es\/turismo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/dragos1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"323\" height=\"360\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 13px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Titillium Web', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Over time, the Arautava Giant became a kind of meteorological oracle for the peasants of the region since, according to an old belief, depending on which side the tree blooms, you can predict how the following year will be in terms of weather.

Until the 1940s, the square was nothing more than an esplanade where the livestock fair took place every year during the celebration of the Patron Saint&#8217;s Festivities. It was then that the square was rearranged and planned with the laying of pavement and the delimitation of the garden areas in which several native species were planted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 25px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Titillium Web', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">San Francisco Street.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"height: 303px; width: 465px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.laorotava.es\/turismo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/dragos_11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"465\" height=\"303\"><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 25px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Titillium Web', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">8.- La Mocana Dragon tree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 25px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Titillium Web', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is located in the La Mocana area, next to the San Antonio ravine.

According to the oldest historical records, the La Orotava Dragon tree has been the most famous and admired of its kind, known as Franchy\u2019s Dragon tree because it grew in the magnificent garden that this family owned in Villa de La Orotava. According to tradition, this imposing Dragon tree was sacred for the Guanches (Tenerife aboriginals), who met in council or \u2018tagoror\u2019 under its splendid treetop to enact laws, administer justice and crown the Taoro Mencey&nbsp;&nbsp;(aboriginal ruler of this area), when the previous one died. During the coronation ceremony the new Mencey kissed a bone of his earliest ancestor while repeating \u2018Ago\u00f1e Yacaron Y\u00f1atzaha\u00f1a Chaco\u00f1amet\u2019 (I swear on your bones the day you became great). In 1496, next to it, a mass was celebrated to commemorate the definitive conquest of the island and it served as point of reference in the division of lands among the conquerors. &nbsp;Much has been written about the age of the historic Dragon tree. Some authors of past centuries (Humboldt, Piazzi-Smyth, who installed the first telescope in Mount Teide in the middle of the nineteenth century, etc.), attributed it several thousand years, but although we will never know for sure, there is no doubt it was more than one thousand years old. In the mid-eighteenth century it was about 20 metres high and the perimeter of its base measured around 25. The&nbsp;trunk became narrower as it ascended up to a height of 6 metres, where twelve large branches sprung. Its circumference was about 14 metres and its weight must&nbsp;&nbsp;have been something more than 200 tons, like the weight of 40 adult elephants. In its treetop a large wooden platform was built, and people could access by means of a comfortable exterior staircase. Over time, the Arautava Giant became a kind of meteorological oracle for the peasants of the region since, according to an old belief, depending on which side the tree blooms, you can predict how the following year will be in terms of weather. If it does so on its north or northwest sides, there will be a rainy year on the north and northwest slopes of the island; if it blooms on all sides it will rain abundantly, but if it blooms on its south or east sides, the year will be dry and therefore bad for the crops. During the Enlightenment its fame spread throughout the European intellectual circles and many illustrious travellers who visited La Orotava had the opportunity to admire it in its best years. Ledr\u00fa, Stauton, Humboldt, D&#8217;Ozonne, Viera y Clavijo or Agust\u00edn de Bethencourt were able to study and measure it and thanks to their descriptions and drawings we have valuable information about this Giant. The magnificent garden was designed in French style, with rectilinear walks delimited by hedges of myrtle, rose, jasmines, lemon and orange trees, laurels, small-leaved hollies and Indian bays, among which a magnificent example of Canary palm, known as \u2018Palma de la Conquista\u2019 (Conquest Palm) stood out. Its name made reference to its age and height (30 metres), visible from all corners of the La Orotava Valley.

On the night of 21st&nbsp;July 1819, a terrible hurricane knocked over half its treetop, leaving behind only five surviving branches.

According to the oldest historical records, the La Orotava Dragon tree has been the most famous and admired of its kind, known as Franchy\u2019s Dragon tree because it grew in the magnificent garden that this family owned in Villa de La Orotava. According to tradition, this imposing Dragon tree was sacred for the Guanches (Tenerife aboriginals), who met in council or \u2018tagoror\u2019 under its splendid treetop to enact laws, administer justice and crown the Taoro Mencey&nbsp;&nbsp;(aboriginal ruler of this area), when the previous one died. During the coronation ceremony the new Mencey kissed a bone of his earliest ancestor while repeating \u2018Ago\u00f1e Yacaron Y\u00f1atzaha\u00f1a Chaco\u00f1amet\u2019 (I swear on your bones the day you became great). In 1496, next to it, a mass was celebrated to commemorate the definitive conquest of the island and it served as point of reference in the division of lands among the conquerors. &nbsp;Much has been written about the age of the historic Dragon tree. Some authors of past centuries (Humboldt, Piazzi-Smyth, who installed the first telescope in Mount Teide in the middle of the nineteenth century, etc.), attributed it several thousand years, but although we will never know for sure, there is no doubt it was more than one thousand years old. In the mid-eighteenth century it was about 20 metres high and the perimeter of its base measured around 25. The&nbsp;trunk became narrower as it ascended up to a height of 6 metres, where twelve large branches sprung. Its circumference was about 14 metres and its weight must&nbsp;&nbsp;have been something more than 200 tons, like the weight of 40 adult elephants. In its treetop a large wooden platform was built, and people could access by means of a comfortable exterior staircase. Over time, the Arautava Giant became a kind of meteorological oracle for the peasants of the region since, according to an old belief, depending on which side the tree blooms, you can predict how the following year will be in terms of weather. If it does so on its north or northwest sides, there will be a rainy year on the north and northwest slopes of the island; if it blooms on all sides it will rain abundantly, but if it blooms on its south or east sides, the year will be dry and therefore bad for the crops. During the Enlightenment its fame spread throughout the European intellectual circles and many illustrious travellers who visited La Orotava had the opportunity to admire it in its best years. Ledr\u00fa, Stauton, Humboldt, D&#8217;Ozonne, Viera y Clavijo or Agust\u00edn de Bethencourt were able to study and measure it and thanks to their descriptions and drawings we have valuable information about this Giant. The magnificent garden was designed in French style, with rectilinear walks delimited by hedges of myrtle, rose, jasmines, lemon and orange trees, laurels, small-leaved hollies and Indian bays, among which a magnificent example of Canary palm, known as \u2018Palma de la Conquista\u2019 (Conquest Palm) stood out. Its name made reference to its age and height (30 metres), visible from all corners of the La Orotava Valley.
