Take a Flights to Canary Islands

1. Take a Flights to Canary Islands

2. Costa Adeje Costa Adeje was once an overlooked fishing village filled with the world’s most fascinating beaches. It was only a matter of time before tourists discovered its golden shores and clear blue waters that lead into the Atlantic. With powdery white sand and a year-round climate likened to an endless summer, it is not difficult to see why the southern coast of Tenerife has become a hotspot for posh vacationers and affluent travelers. Side by side along its just as desirable neighbors, Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas, Costa Adeje has quickly risen from its quiet beginnings to one of the most coveted resort destinations in the world.

3. Candelaria, the Canary Islands’ symbol of sincere religious devotion, has an interesting air about it. Home to the archipelago’s well-loved patron saint, pilgrims, and Catholic devotees should not miss this town when in Tenerife. Its claim to fame as one of island’s religious focal points has a long history dating back to 1392. It was when the Guanches found the figure of the Virgin of Candelaria by the ocean. At present, the figure who is fondly known as the ‘Black Madonna’ because of its color, is housed in its solemn basilica. This beautiful seaside church is one the most photographed on the island. It also serves as a meeting point for thousands of pilgrims every year during the patron’s day. Candelaria

4. Candelaria Puerto de la Cruz For several decades now, this beautiful city has been a firm favorite among tourists from all over the world. Strolling around its charming plazas, one can feel the evident cosmopolitan city feel mixed with old colonial charm. This city houses everything a visitor can ask for. Interactive theme parks, well-equipped beaches, ancient castles and more await at Puerto de la Cruz. Originally developed as a port for the nearby and wealthy town of La Orotava, the city harbor is still a central part of local business.

5. El Medano has yet to catch up with the modernity of the rest of Tenerife. Despite several developments in the past years, the town has managed to steer clear of that mass tourism feel. Visitors can still smell the authentic Canarian culture lingering in the air, from its friendly people to its quaint local bars. This resort town is perfect for travelers looking for complete R&R that’s hard to find in the neighboring towns. Candelaria El Medano

6. Cut deep into the hills of Mount Teide is Icod de Los Vinos, a small bustling town in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Situated at an altitude of 235 meters above sea level, the town overlooks the northwest coast of the island. Surrounding the town is a lush and fertile valley of dense pine forests. Thanks to its mixed and unique climate, the weather is great for a land teeming with ripe crops. The lower regions are enjoying more natural sunlight while the higher altitude area produces more rainfall. Banana plantations, orchards, and vast vineyards can also be seen from the town. From the center, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the good old Mount Teide and its evergreen canopy. Strolling around, it’s easy to see that the rich Canarian tradition still hangs in the air of this charming old village. Icod de Los Vinos Candelaria

7. Situated in a deep valley skirted by forested slopes and a rocky coastline, Garachico is an elegant, tranquil town full of traditional Canarian flair. A former fishing village, this town on the northwest of the island is surrounded by beautiful, pristine landscapes of Tenerife. Stepping into Garachico is like setting foot to a large, open-air museum. Historical buildings, monasteries, and narrow, winding streets are situated among natural lava pools and towering volcanic rocks. The cottages and traditional townhouses are painted in bright ochre hues and pastel colors. Chic boutique hotels lie in immaculate cobblestone paths that link palm-shaded plazas. Garachico has already received several awards for its continuous effort in preserving its cultural heritage, historical buildings, and cleanliness of the streets. Despite the bustling comings and goings in town, the air of relaxation and tranquility is evident. It is perhaps one of the reasons why this town is a favorite among day trippers who wish to have a break from the buzz of the city. Garachico Candelaria

8. Vilaflor is a tranquil haven, surrounded by rural landscapes and pine trees as far as the eyes can see. At 1,400 meters above sea level, the entire village is a lookout point to lush vegetation, rugged lava plains, and fields of wildflowers. Legend has it that Vilaflor owes its name to a Spanish Captain, Pedro de Bracamonte. Upon seeing a beautiful Guanche girl in town, he exclaimed: “Vi la flor de Chasna” (I have seen the flower of Chasna), which was the town’s former name. Its stately houses and cobblestone streets speak of the history of this part of Tenerife. Once a popular destination for scientists and explorers, Vilaflor was the location of the first hotel in the south of the island. These days, most visitors of Tenerife pass by the town on their way to Mount Teide. In doing so, they overlook a historic little town with flower lined streets and a friendly personality.

9. This charming colonial town is a museum in itself, with its traditional Canarian atmosphere, flower-filled plazas and more Castilian mansions than the rest of the island put together. Its old town has been declared to be of National Historic-Artistic Interest. Walking down the cobblestone streets by the ancient mansions, visitors can still smell the prestigious past of wealthy residents lingering in the air. La Orotava also serves as a gateway to the Teide National Park with its 3,718-metre volcano. It’s pristine and secluded beaches are perfect visitors looking to soak up some sun and get away from the tourist-congested spots. The town’s customs and traditions are also something that one would find on the rest of the Canary Islands. La Orotava is home to the annual feast of Corpus Christi, when the main streets and squares are lined with carpets of sand and flowers. Candelaria La Orotava

10. A dream destination for every landscape photographer, Masca is magnificent at every angle. No poetic words can do justice to the beauty of this quaint little village, hidden in the folds of the Teno Mountains. The setting of the village is surreal, and its houses perch perilously on the narrow ridges of dramatic rock formations. Dubbed as the Machu Picchu of the Canaries, the village center is situated along a ridge underneath a bullet shaped pinnacle. Steep ravine walls rising on either side of the village add to its beauty. Beyond the pinnacle, framed in the V of the ravine, is the view of the Atlantic Ocean and the island of La Gomera. Imagine having this scene during the sunset. Until recently, this picturesque town was only accessible on foot or by donkey. At present, it is now connected to the rest of the island by road. Even so, this charming village is still difficult to reach, but it’s well worth the journey. The trip takes visitors through deep ravines interlaced with lush green vegetation. Winding roads lead to heart-pounding hairpin bends. Once visitors reach Masca, the natural beauty of this stunning location is overwhelming. Candelaria Masca
