It was harder than we thought it would be to choose only 10 of Tenerife’s most stunning locations. There are too many scenic places and the most exquisite Tenerife Holiday Villas on the island. It’s a fascinating decision. But not necessarily one that we would concur with. Although we only select the visually pleasing spots, which indicates that man-made locations are included, it seems as though geologically significant areas were picked.
Here are some of our favorite places in Tenerife, listed in no particular order.
Masca, Teno
Teno is one of the most stunning sights in the Canary Islands, much alone Tenerife, which is why José Manuel Moreno includes various locations there. When you visit Masca for the first time, and again after that, it simply takes your breath away.
Even if not everyone enjoys the travel, getting there adds to the excitement.
El Palmar Teno
The view from the hills above the El Palmar Valley is even more impressive, in our opinion. It is breathtakingly beautiful enough to overpower the vistas of the shimmering Atlantic and La Gomera to the side on a clear day, with Teide providing weight to the lush crater.
The Plaza de la Libertad in Garachico
We have yet to witness or hear someone declare, “I’m going to visit your Plaza de la Libertad and raise it to our Plaza de…” that there is a more stunning plaza in the Canary Islands. When Andy told me she’d read a harsh review of a travel guide, she used the term “imagine my surprise upon arrival to discover a dreary town” to dismiss Garachico. Sometimes it’s a matter of throwing pearls to pigs.
The lovely colonial boutique hotel La Quinta Roja, the tower of the Iglesia de Santa Ana, the African-inspired Iglesia de San Francisco, and the Palace of the Counts of La Gomera surround the region. Indian bay trees, an open plaza, and a statue honouring Simón Bolvar, who helped numerous South American republics break free from Spanish rule, take centre stage in contrast to the kiosk bandstand. The history and natural beauty may be seen in every direction. My dear Culo, you are dull.
Playa de las Teresitas and Santa Cruz
Another man-made entry, yet Playa de las Teresitas offers one of Tenerife’s most breathtaking views when viewed from above the golden sands. Along with the broad beach and the Blue Ocean, there is also the far-off Tenerife Auditorium and the fishing village of San Andrés that is tucked away into the hillside.
Because it is such a striking image, it regularly appears in travel articles about Tenerife, even when the beach isn’t directly mentioned. It is not the cover of our handbook because we want to be distinctive.
View of the Teide National Park from Montaa Guajara
We agree with Karl Pilkington’s assessment that the view from the cave across the street is preferable to the one from Jordan’s Petra. Similar to how Mount Teide’s perspective of Teide National Park is quite impressive, Montana Guajara’s view is much more impressive because it includes Tenerife villas to rent‘s most menacing feature, the massive mountain.
Theme: El Médano, Roja
If they can take their eyes away from el Teide, those arriving by plane at Tenerife Sur Airport are met with the distinctive red mountain jutting into the Atlantic. It is equally remarkable and fairly unique when seen up close. You may explore all of its rose-colored faces by walking around or climbing it. The fine sands at Playa de la Tejita are the nicest in our opinion.
Los Realejos and Castro Boulevard
The stretch of Tenerife’s coastline between Puerto de la Cruz and Garachico, where nature and man have brilliantly complemented one another, is in our opinion the most beautiful. An incredible visual feast is created by the combination of craggy cliffs, old haciendas, a rocky coastline, and vast expanses of banana plants, especially above La Rambla de Castro.
