Cuevas del Trigo
Granadilla
Arriving at Cuevas del Trigo beach, in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona, is to discover a much more raw and authentic side of the Tenerife coastline. Here you won't find tourist services or amenities, and that's precisely what makes the place so charming. It's a volcanic beach, with pebbles and areas of dark sand, surrounded by rock formations sculpted by time and the sea, which you can only reach by walking along a path for about an hour.
The most striking feature of the area is the natural caves that give the beach its name. These cavities, carved into the volcanic rock, were traditionally used as shelters and today are part of the landscape, lending an almost primitive feel to the whole. Walking through the area allows you to appreciate the power of nature and the silent history of this stretch of coast.
The sea here is usually open and changeable, so it's not a beach designed for leisurely swimming, but rather for enjoying the surroundings, strolling, sitting and contemplating the ocean, or simply disconnecting from the noise. The feeling is one of isolation and freedom, with sweeping views of the Atlantic and an atmosphere especially appealing to those seeking unspoiled places.
Cuevas del Trigo is ideal if you enjoy exploring lesser-known corners, landscape photography, or experiencing the wilder side of Tenerife. It's not for everyone, but if you value tranquility, authenticity, and unspoiled natural spaces, this place will make you feel like you're discovering the true island.

Where to eat
Taberna La Gula
Taberna La Gula, in El Médano, is a small and elegant local with an intimate and very cuidado atmosphere. Destaca for its professional and professional work, a creative kitchen based on quality products and a gastronomic experience thought of in detail, ideal for busy people to come or eat with peace of mind in a welcoming space.
What to see
Arco de Tajao
The Tajao Arch, also known as the Bijagua Arch, is a natural volcanic formation located on the southeast coast of Tenerife, in San Miguel de Tajao (Arico). This rock bridge, sculpted by erosion on volcanic tuff, stands out for its clean lines and its arid surroundings of cardon cacti and tabaiba plants, offering one of the most unique and accessible geological landscapes on the island's southern coast.
Activities
Cancha de Bola Canaria La Jaca
The La Jaca Bola Canarian Court is one of the liveliest spots in the small coastal town of Arico. Here, locals and visitors gather to play this traditional Canarian game in a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. It's not just a sports venue, but also a social space: a place where generations mingle, stories are shared, and a deeply rooted custom in the towns of southern Tenerife is kept alive.
Beaches
Charco de la Virgen
If you prefer the less touristy coast of southern Tenerife, Charco de la Virgen in La Jaca offers something different. It's a natural pool by the sea in the small coastal town of La Jaca. As you walk there, you'll see the volcanic coastline change, and once at the pool, you can relax in a saltwater jacuzzi among the rocks. It's a peaceful spot with a very local atmosphere.
Nightlife
Shopping
Miel Tament
Tament, which means "honey" in the Amazigh language, is an artisanal gem produced on the same estate that makes Nevales de Abona wine, using Canarian black bees. It is multifloral, pure, and deep golden in color, with a smooth texture and balanced sweetness. Although it doesn't have an official organic seal, it is produced using sustainable and traditional methods. Like the wines, this product can only be found at the San Isidro Farmers Market, at Elsa's stand.
Sports
Snorkel Los Abrigos
The natural pools of Los Abrigos offer a unique setting for snorkeling in calm, crystal-clear waters. Formed between volcanic rocks, they create small lagoons that allow you to observe colorful fish, sea urchins, and other marine life without having to venture too far into the open sea. It's an intimate and less crowded spot than other areas of the island, ideal for those looking to relax and discover underwater life safely.
Trekking
Sendero Montaña Roja
Walking the circular route that starts in El Médano and heads toward Montaña Roja is like stepping into an otherworldly volcanic landscape: reddish sand, deep blue sea, and the wind that caresses you with every step. You can see World War II bunkers, aquatic birds, and panoramic views of the southern part of the island. You'll love it if you're looking for an easy hike with that "reconnect with nature" feel in southern Tenerife.
