For me, the most beautiful part of Tenerife is The Anaga Mountains in the far north-east of the island and this walk didn't disappoint. The initial part of the walk to the cave-house village of Chinamada was impressive enough but from there, the long descent into Barranco del Tomadero on the path to Los Batanes was simply epic. Surrounded by jagged, towering peaks and beautiful flora, this path entered a magical world of trickling streams, rock pools, croaking frogs and cave houses. At one point, the 'path' was nothing more than a few narrow footholds in the rock accompanied by chains as handholds to assist you.Reaching the tiny hamlet of Los Batanes, the climbing began and for around two hours, the path climbed relentlessly up, while the stunning views helped to take your mind off of the climb. In all the walk took 6 hours.

Oh! It’s such a beautiful island. How I miss Tenerife.
Thanks for the reminder of why we return each year (when possible 😞)
I agree, its a beautiful island, if you take the trouble to get away from the resorts and explore. I hope you can come back soon.
