Sightseeing
Mount Teide is the highest
peak in Spain, and the third highest volcano in the world. Its
three lookout points offer fantastic views of Tenerife and its
neighboring islands. You can do
guided walks to the peak (which take around 6 hours and are
not for the faint-hearted) or take a cable car (€27 adults, €13.50
children). If you do fancy daring a visit to the mouth of the
volcano, you’ll need to apply for a permit beforehand from the
national park’s office in Orotava.

Hiking in the Anaga Mountains.
If you’re looking for something off the tourist trail, head to to the Anaga Mountains in the north east of the island. It is the oldest part of the island, and a trip here feels like stepping back in time to another world. Hike from Benijo to the
Roques de Anaga, two rocky outcrops in the sea with
geological and ecological importance, or try and find the elusive Roque de Bermejo boat community, only accessible by a three-hour hike.

Drago Milenario Tree.
No trip to Tenerife would be complete without a glimpse at the Drago Milenario (‘Dragon Tree’), the national symbol of the island. You can see it- alongside a collection of other endemic species- in the Parque del Drago
Gardens (or stand in the square beside the Church of San
Marco for a free vantage point).

Kitesurfing and Windsurfing.
Thanks to some hefty trade winds blowing in from the Atlantic,
El Medano is one of the best surfing and windsurfing spots in
the world, and has played host to several worldwide
competitions. The town is conveniently located beside the two
largest natural beaches on the island, Playa Tejita and Playa
Grande, and has gained a reputation as the most laid-back of
Tenerife’s resorts -think beach shacks and happy hippies.

Beautiful place with many accesses by stairs and ladders
leading directly into the sea. Natural caves form a beautiful
scenery. There is also a small bar on the beach with beer and
cocktails. A stairway leads alongside the rocks to another small beach and an admittedly not so nice sea water pool, but a very nice promenade. There is also a diving club.

You won’t find any sun loungers or umbrellas here. This wild,

Range on Tenerife’s north east coast is not for your average
day-tripper. Only accessible via a windy mountain road, this
black sand beach is backed by cliffs and pounded by gigantic
