La Casa Del Drago,The dragon's House on Calle Arcipreste Ossuna in the town of Icod de los Vinos on the island of Tenerife.

However the dragon it refers to is the Dracaena draco,the Canary Islands dragon tree,which is a sub tropical tree like plant in the family Dracaena. The specimen El Drago Milenario is located in the grounds of the house and is believed to be as old as 365 years old,though it is claimed locally to be a thousand years old. It is the national symbol of the island of Tenerife.
