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

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

Snorkel El Medano

El Médano is an ideal place to combine beach life with snorkeling. Its clean, shallow waters allow you to observe local fish and small schools of marine life, all in a relaxing environment with views of Montaña Roja. Between rocky areas and sandy areas, you can enjoy an accessible underwater world, perfect for both beginners and those seeking direct contact with the ocean.

Trekking

Sendero Barranco del Rio

The Barranco del Río Trail, in Arico, is one of the most surprising routes in southern Tenerife. It traverses a deep ravine with natural pools, waterfalls, and rock formations eroded by centuries of water and wind. It's an adventure trail, ideal for those who enjoy hiking among wild landscapes and natural contrasts, with stretches of lush vegetation that recall the island's most secret side.
