This is an example of the renovation in an old house in Vegueta. You can slide the marker to the right and left to see the difference. The house was built 1904 and the ground floor wash functioning 25 years as a Chocolate Factory while the family lived next floor. Along the years the building was modified and for the last 30 years before the new owners the building stood abandoned.
The new owners returned it to its original state and glory. Now The Old Chocolate Factory offers accommodation as an Emblematic House and the activity is ran by The Boutique Rooms.
