Finca Ecologica la Calabacera
Playa San Juan
La Calabacera Ecología Gourmet is a family-run organic farm located in Playa San Juan, Guía de Isora, that stands out for its serious commitment to sustainable agriculture. Managed by Dulce Acevedo, the farm is 100% certified organic and primarily grows plantains (approximately 85%) along with tropical fruits such as papayas, mangoes, soursop, citrus fruits, as well as seasonal vegetables and organic eggs. All products are fresh, mostly harvested at the moment, ensuring authentic flavor and quality.
One of the elements that makes La Calabacera special is its scale and diversity: not only plantains, but also vegetables, tropical fruits uncommon in other local crops, and a vegetable garden with species such as chard, pak choi, beets, and aromatic herbs interspersed among the plantain trees. Another key difference: its direct-to-customer sales model. You can buy products on the farm, have fruit and vegetable boxes delivered to your home, or order online. They deliver to homes in several municipalities in Tenerife. They also organize guided tours to teach organic practices and explain sustainable farming methods—such as waste recycling, composting, and efficient water use—making the visit an educational experience.
The farm also has event rooms or spaces, making it attractive for celebrations or gatherings in a green, peaceful, and natural setting. The service is warm and friendly: visitors highlight the friendliness of Dulce and her team, the relaxed atmosphere of the farm, its cleanliness, and the feeling of "leaving the city behind" upon entering.
La Calabacera doesn't have a traditional restaurant, so there's no menu of elaborate dishes; instead, you can enjoy the pure product, the taste of freshly harvested produce. It's ideal for those who value quality, freshness, and authenticity and want to support truly organic production.

Where to eat
The Golden Cod
The Golden Cod, in the port of Los Gigantes, is a Spanish restaurant with a strong Portuguese influence where cod is the star. Home-style cooking, a friendly atmosphere, and dishes like bacalhau à brás (cod with beef) and francesinha (French toast) make this small establishment a place to eat like you're at home, but with a taste of Portugal.
What to see
Centro Alfarero y Museo Etnográfico Cha Domitila
The Cha Domitila Pottery Center, in Arguayo, is a living museum of traditional Canarian pottery with direct roots in Guanche culture. Here, artisans reproduce ancestral techniques without a wheel or glaze, inherited from pre-Hispanic potters, creating pieces such as gánigos and bernegales. A space where indigenous memory is kept alive through clay.
Activities
Avistamiento de Aves Los Gigantes
The Los Gigantes Cliffs are a spectacular place to observe seabirds and birds of prey in Tenerife. From here, you can see species such as the osprey, the falcon, and the raven, which nest on the cliffs. The vertical walls that drop to the sea, the rocky coastal areas, and the proximity to the ocean make it an ideal natural viewpoint for those who love nature, the wind, and open skies.
Beaches
Piscina Natural Acantilados de los Gigantes
The Los Gigantes natural pool is a hidden spot among volcanic rocks, where you can swim with direct views of the imposing cliffs that give the area its name. Protected from the waves, it offers crystal-clear waters and a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for relaxing after a day at the beach or hiking. Just a few meters from the port, it combines natural charm with the convenience of bars and restaurants nearby, all against the spectacular backdrop of the Atlantic.
Nightlife
Roca Negra
Roca Negra Sunset Club, in Playa Paraíso, is one of those places in southern Tenerife where you can enjoy a drink overlooking the sea as the sun sets. With beanbag chairs perched on the volcanic rock, direct views of La Gomera, and a daily gong show at sunset, it's a must-do for experiencing the sunset in style.
Shopping
Agromercado Adeje
The Adeje Farmers Market is a vibrant space where local producers offer fruits, vegetables, cheeses, honey, wines, and traditional pastries. Open on weekends, it's ideal for those seeking fresh, locally sourced produce in a warm, authentic atmosphere. A meeting point where the flavor of the land and the Canarian identity can be felt at every stand.
Sports
Paragliding Park
The Taucho Paragliding Park is one of Tenerife's paragliding landmarks. From here, takeoffs offer spectacular views of Adeje and the southwest coast, with flying conditions almost year-round. It's a popular destination for both experienced pilots and those trying a tandem for the first time. What makes Taucho special is its stable climate, the takeoff altitude, and the relaxed community atmosphere.
Trekking
Montaña Tejina
If you enjoy less crowded hiking in southern Tenerife, this circular route around Montaña de Tejina is a very complete option. You'll walk approximately 13 km around this large volcanic crag, over a thousand meters high, which was a sacred site and key center of social interaction for the Guanches. The route passes through ravines, ancient threshing floors, small hermitages, and traditional agricultural remains. There's hardly any shade, but in return, you'll have open panoramic views for much of the way and a constant sense of a rural, volcanic, and mystical landscape.
