Mirador La Garañona
El Sauzal
When you arrive at the La Garañona viewpoint in El Sauzal, the first thing that strikes you is the vastness of the landscape: you're standing on a cliff that drops more than 200 meters to the ocean, and as you look out, the Atlantic stretches as far as the eye can see, merging with the Acentejo coastline. The beauty of this place is that you don't need to walk long distances or follow complicated routes to feel that connection with the sea and nature; the viewpoint is practically integrated into the town, well signposted, and with nearby parking, making it very accessible for a short stroll or a stop during your day.
The site is much more than just an observation platform: it's designed as a small park with landscaped areas, benches, paths, and spaces where you can sit and contemplate the horizon. The mix of palm trees, succulents, and plants adapted to the sea breeze gives it a distinctly Atlantic coastal character, and the constant sound of the wind and waves accompanies every glance. As you approach the edge, the view of La Garañona beach and the coastline stretching towards Tacoronte makes you feel the immensity of the volcanic and oceanic landscape that defines northern Tenerife.
One of my favorite parts is the combination of nature and comfort: there are strategically placed benches so you don't have to stand, and a café with a terrace where you can enjoy the moment with a coffee or a pastry while the Atlantic unfolds its colors below you. The morning or afternoon light bathes everything in warm tones, especially on clear days, and the fresh air makes you want to stay a while longer, simply watching the sea change.
In short, Mirador La Garañona is one of those places that you can enjoy whether you're going alone to unwind or including it in a route along the north coast. It's accessible, with truly spectacular views and an environment designed to make the experience relaxing and memorable.

Where to eat
Sora Kai
If you come to Sora Kai in El Sauzal, it's primarily for the views and the excellent Japanese food. You sit on their open terraces facing the sea and Mount Teide, enjoying a relaxed atmosphere that makes the sunset seem to last longer. Here, Japanese cuisine has a modern twist, the service is friendly and professional, and the overall feeling is that of a place to linger, chatting over a drink and some sushi.
What to see
Parque Natural El Montillo
El Montillo Natural Park in La Matanza de Acentejo is a vast green space where you can enjoy the fresh air without leaving the city. It's a complete park, with children's play areas, a café, lakes with waterfalls, picnic areas, viewpoints, a dog park, a beach soccer field, a climbing wall, and a skate park, all surrounded by lush vegetation and tranquility—ideal for a unique day out.
Activities
Forestal Park Tenerife
An adventure awaits you among the trees at Forestal Park Tenerife: enormous zip lines, suspension bridges, and climbing nets in the heart of the Las Lagunetas pine forest. It's perfect if you want to disconnect from the beach, breathe fresh air, and get your adrenaline pumping with family or friends.
Beaches
Playa el Ancón
El Ancón beach in La Orotava welcomes you with its dark volcanic sand and a deep blue sea that shifts with the light. It's a wide beach with lively waves and a natural setting that invites you to stroll, gaze at the horizon, and feel the power of the Atlantic. Ideal if you love authentic, unspoiled beaches with a pristine volcanic landscape.
Nightlife
Shopping
Mercadillo del Agricultor Tacoronte
If you come to this town and crave authentic local flavors, the Tacoronte Farmers' Market is my go-to spot. It's a traditional farmers' market where the producers themselves sell fruits, vegetables, cheeses, honey, breads, and family wines directly from their farms to you—no middlemen—all fresh and in season. The atmosphere is lively and genuine, perfect for picking up products that truly make a difference in taste.
Sports
Trekking
El Sauzal - Fuente del Pino
The route connecting El Sauzal with Fuente del Pino in La Matanza is a local trail, ideal for enjoying the tranquility of northern Tenerife. It runs through vineyards, ravines, and small rural roads, with views of the sea and Mount Teide. It's a relatively simple but charming route that combines nature and tradition, as the fountain was historically a meeting place for shepherds and neighbors.
