Vino Nevales
Abona
To speak of Nevales de Abona wine is to speak of one of Tenerife's most exclusive productions. In a landscape of sunny midlands and trade winds, this small family estate produces its wine with a care that borders on artisanal. In fact, Nevales is the smallest winery with a Protected Designation of Origin on the island, and its annual production is around 350 liters of white and 250 liters of red, a figure that makes each bottle truly unique.
The estate has approximately 1,000 vines, of which 400 are white grapes and 600 are black grapes. The white wine is made primarily from Listán Blanco, the most representative variety of southern Tenerife, and Albillo, a typical grape of the archipelago, especially from La Palma. The red wine is made from Listan Negro, also typical of the Canary Islands. Shiraz is aged for six months in oak barrels. Both are hand-picked, bunch by bunch, in a harvest that maintains the spirit of traditional viticulture. Although the wine is not certified organic, its manual production and minimal use of treatments ensure it retains a purity very close to natural.
Every step of the process—from harvesting to fermentation—is carried out in a traditional manner, resulting in a dry, clean white wine with fresh notes. The red wine has well-balanced tannins and acidity, dry and with a moderate to strong palate and a deeply volcanic character that reflects the soil and climate of the southern part of the island. There are no large runs or retail locations: the only point of sale is at Elsa's stand at the San Isidro Farmers' Market, where you can also find local honeys, mojos, and gofios.
This limitation is not a disadvantage, but part of its charm. Drinking Nevales is like savoring a piece of Tenerife in its most authentic form: minimal production, a process faithful to its roots, and a history of dedication that is evident in every sip. It's the kind of wine you don't search for on a menu, but rather discover by talking to the winemaker, among market stalls and the aromas of tradition.
If you are a wine connoisseur, don't miss this gem of the island's most authentic viticulture and enjoy an experience as exclusive as tasting this authentic Tenerife wine.

Where to eat
Heladería Artesanal la Tejita
If you're in the La Tejita area and fancy something refreshing after the beach, this ice cream shop is a great place to stop. Here you'll find artisanal ice creams with a variety of delicious flavors, perfect for a quick treat while you're strolling or relaxing after a day at the beach. It's a simple, pleasant, and very convenient spot to indulge without any fuss.
What to see
Presa del Rio
If you enjoy discovering unique places, the Presa del Río in Arico has that special something. It's not just a natural setting; it's an abandoned dam, which lends it a curious and somewhat mysterious air. You can stroll around the area, explore its structures, and appreciate the contrast between the ravine and what remains of the construction. It's a little-known spot, perfect for getting off the beaten path.
Activities
Cho Pancho
If you're looking for a truly Canarian experience, the Cho Pancho Recreation Area is exactly that: a day trip up into the mountains. Come here with family or friends, set up a picnic or barbecue, and forget about the daily grind. It's a simple place, surrounded by nature, where the most important thing is spending time together. One of those time-honored traditions that, although it has changed, remains very much alive.
Beaches
Cuevas del Trigo
Cuevas del Trigo beach is one of those wild corners of southern Tenerife where you'll feel the island remains untouched. A secluded stretch of volcanic coastline, with natural caves carved into the rock and a tranquil atmosphere, it's ideal for disconnecting, taking leisurely strolls, and listening only to the sea and the wind.
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
Zona de calistenia en el Puerto de San Miguel
The Calistenia area of Puerto de San Miguel, in Amarilla Golf, is one of these locations that offers a complete experience. The park is beautiful and not particularly large, but it is just outside the sea, just like the port of sports, as it can be seen with views of the boats, the ocean and the volcanic landscape on the Costa Sur. A very tranquil location for outdoor activities in the more urban atmosphere of other parks.
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.
