The Mesa Mota building has been abandoned for more than 10 years and is located in San Cristóbal de La Laguna and is owned by the municipality. Mesa Mota is located near the recreational area of the same name and from it you can have an amazing view of La Vega from La Laguna.

As often happens with this type of abandoned property, it was built without knowing exactly what it was going to be used for although it was rumored that it would be destined for the creation of a research institute on diversity in the Macaronesia. Other uses to which we wanted to allocate Mesa Mota was a residence for athletes or a congress center of the University of La Laguna. None of these projects were carried out and nowadays it is an abandoned place and mercenary of vandals.
