Casa de los Balcones
This is a 17th Century mansion renowned for its potted Geraniums on its balconies. It doesn’t get its name for the balconies outside though, wait until you see the inner courtyard – a sight to die for!

Drago Milenario
The Drago Milenario, or Dragon Tree, is a tree peculiar to the Canary Islands. The tree is known locally as the ‘Thousand Year Old Dragon Tree’, contrary to native speculation though this tree is approximately 600 years old. This giant tree symbolises the Island.

Pico del Teide
The Pico del Teide is the highest mountain in Spain. It is an active volcano, but is ‘sleeping’ at the moment. The region surrounding the Pico del Teide is a national park, and the summit can be reached either by foot or cable car.

Garachico
For over 200 years Garachico was Tenerife’s busiest port, but was destroyed when the Volcan Negro erupted. Today the old port lies buried underneath the present town. The old Franciscan monastery, Convento de San Francisco survived the eruption, and now holds events and exhibitions.

Mercado Nuestra Senora de Africa
The "Market of Our Lady of Africa” is Tenerife’s main produce market. Fresh flowers, fruit and vegetables adorn the sidewalks, along with fresh fish and meat stalls. A "rastro" market takes over on a Sunday, a mix between a flea market and a craft market.
