Description
This trail runs through a spectacular natural coastal area of great beauty located on the north coast of Tenerife.
It starts in Roque de las Bodegas, a small village overlooking the beach of the same name. The route heads east from there, crossing several fields in the direction of Almáciga beach, a paradise for surfing enthusiasts.
Keep walking until you reach Benijo beach, which you can see in all its splendour from the Playa de Benijo viewpoint.
Continue along the route until you reach El Draguillo, so called because several dragon trees (“dragos”) grow there. From here you can enjoy magnificent views of the north coast of the Anaga Massif and then return along the same route.
Tips
- Always stay on the marked trail and do not enter private property, hunting grounds, water galleries, wells or caves.
