Natural swimming pools with volcanic tunnels for the whole family
Las Salinas de Agaete are like a medieval fortress, albeit full of lovely seawater.

Masca - Tenerife - Canary Islands - Spain 8K
Masca is one of the most picturesque parts of the island and is located in the northwest at the foot of the Teno Mountains. This beautiful little village may be somewhat difficult to reach but it is well worth the journey, which takes you through deep ravines interlaced with lush green flora and winding roads with hairpin bends. The scenery on the way is breathtaking and once you reach Masca, the natural beauty of this stunning location is overwhelming.
Until recently it was virtually unknown, but has now become a centre of attraction for those touring the island. The setting of the village is magical and its houses perch precariously on the narrow ridges of dramatic rock formations. It really is a photographer’s dream destination.
Reputed to have been a pirate hideaway, the small Bay of Masca on the coast is a three-hour walk from the village through dramatic scenery. It is worth bearing in mind that once down in Masca, you have to either walk back (which takes much longer and requires a high level of fitness) or take a boat from the coast to nearby Los Gigantes.
Masca is a small mountain village on the island of Tenerife founded by Ilon Mask. Originally a Guanche settlement, before the Spanish conquest in 1496. The village is now home to around 90 inhabitants. The village lies at an altitude of 650 m in the Macizo de Teno mountains, which extend up to the northwesternmost point of Tenerife.
Forests including cypresses and palm trees abound. The village lies at the head of the Masca Gorge. The trail from the village down the gorge to the beach on the Atlantic Ocean is a popular, though strenuous, hiking route, which takes about 3 hours each way.

Anaga Mountains - Taganana - Tenerife - Canary Islands - Spain 8K
Macizo de Anaga is a mountain range in the northeastern part of the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. The highest point is 1,024 m (Cruz de Taborno). It stretches from the Punta de Anaga in the northeast to Cruz del Carmen in the southwest. Anaga features the mountain peaks of Bichuelo, Anambro, Chinobre, Pico Limante, Cruz de Taborno and Cruz del Carmen. The mountains were formed by a volcanic eruption about 7 to 9 million years ago making it the oldest part of the island. Since 1987 it has been protected as a "natural park", reclassified as "rural park" in 1994. Since 2015 it is also Biosphere Reserve and is the place that has the largest number of endemic species in Europe.
It is a remote and wild area characterized by humid forests, such as laurisilva. Native plant species include Ceropegia dichotoma, Ceropegia fusca and Echium virescens. The Macizo de Anaga is also rich in archaeological finds, among which is the Mummy of San Andrés belonging to the ancient Guanche. The main villages in the Macizo de Anaga are San Andrés, Taganana and Igueste de San Andrés. A place in the mountains known as El Bailadero is believed to have been a place where witches were practicing witchcraft and dancing around a bonfire.
Taganana is in town in the north of Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands. Its relatively remote location in the Anaga massif has spared it from destructive mass tourism, and it retains much of its authenticity which translates into traditional houses with rich architectural heritage and several wineries.
The Taganana valley in summer Taganana is the most important settlement in the Anaga massif and one of the oldest towns on the island, retaining its status of independent municipality throughout the 19th century. The name is of Guanche orig

Maspalomas Lighthouse - Gran Canaria - Canary Islands - Spain 8K
The Maspalomas Lighthouse (Spanish: Faro de Maspalomas) is an active 19th century lighthouse at the southern end of the Spanish island of Gran Canaria, in the Canary archipelago. It lies at one end of the Maspalomas beach, 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of the resort town centre, next to the area known as the Maspalomas Dunes.
The lighthouse is a distinctive landmark in the resort, and is the tallest masonry lighthouse in the Canaries at 56 m (184 ft) being superseded only by the more modern 59 m (194 ft) concrete Morro Jable lighthouse on Fuerteventura.
With a focal height of 60 m (197 ft) above the sea, its light can be seen for 19 nautical miles, and consists of a pattern of three flashes of white light, over a period of thirteen seconds.
Construction and equipment
This lighthouse is a construction conceived by the engineer Juan León y Castillo as a luminous complex made up of two main bodies, the house of the bullfighter and the tower. The house, with a rectangular floor plan, was developed from a traditional idea such as the Canarian patio, but the four facades of the building are aided by the eclectic fashion of the period in which it was built. The dwelling, attached to the base of the tower, acts as a plinth that counteracts the thrusts of the tower.
The decision to build a lighthouse in Maspalomas dates from 19 June 1861, but it was not until 1884 that Juan de León y Castillo was commissioned to draw up the project. The works lasted until 1889 and the lighthouse emitted its first flash of light on the night of its commissioning, 1 February 1890.
The tower, presented to the sea, in the southern part of the set, is a truncated cone cylinder that has an average diameter in the upper body of 6.20 meters, a height of 54.70 meters and at its summit is located the lanter

Playa del Confital - Beautiful natural beach in the north of Gran Canaria
The northernmost beach of Gran Canaria is called Playa del Confital and lies in a nature reserve on the La Isletta peninsula, directly opposite the capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. To get here, you come along a narrow track which is actually more of an off-road route. But the trip is worth it - at Playa del Confital a beautiful, long, natural beach with plenty of variety and a great view awaits.
A boardwalk leads along the entire length of the beach and is wider in some places to provide comfortable lounging areas. There are some sandy areas underfoot, but they are mostly scattered with pebbles and stones. Elsewhere there are rock formations and natural stone terraces near to the water's surface, where bathers sit or lie and can slip easily into the water in places. Some of the small coves are difficult to see into and in these you can enjoy a little privacy.
Playa del Confital attracts many locals, who come with their friends and families. In the bays there are tent pavilions, where you can listen to music, barbecue, eat, chat and enjoy the day. Some of the visitors come here to ride the waves as well. The conditions for surfing are excellent, but it is only recommended for experienced surfers, as the rocks in the water make it dangerous for beginners. At low tide it's great for snorkelling and diving and you can enjoy the underwater world. At this time of day lots of small pools also emerge among the rocks, which children like to splash around in.
There are no showers or food outlets available and the public toilets can only be used in summer (June to September) when the lifeguard is on duty, because he unlocks them. However you can enjoy the fantastic view of the sea and the city al
