Piscina natural de Punta del Hidalgo
Parque rural de anaga
The Punta del Hidalgo natural pool, also known as "El Arenisco," is one of the treasures of Tenerife's north coast. Located in Punta del Hidalgo, in the municipality of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, it is a bathing area created by nature, formed by volcanic rocks that create marine pools that fill with the tides, sheltered from the waves when they are not strong. This protection allows even the most inexperienced to swim safely.
It has the prestigious Blue Flag distinction, which guarantees the quality of the water not only as suitable for bathing, but also in terms of sanitary services, safety, and environmental conditions. It has stairs and ramps for easy access to the water, showers, and lifeguard services, expanding the possibilities of use even for people with reduced mobility. All of this is set in a spectacular natural setting, where lava and volcanic rock contrast with the blue of the sea and the green of the coastal environment.
The landscape of Punta del Hidalgo complements the experience: coastal walks along the cliffs, views of the lighthouse, strolls along the water's edge, and an authentic maritime atmosphere. On clear days, you can see Mount Teide in the background, adding majesty to the setting. Many people visit not only to swim, but to relax, snorkel among the rocks, listen to the crashing waves, and sunbathe on the natural platforms.
Visiting this natural pool is one of those activities that we may not remember when planning a trip, but that later proves deeply rewarding: you connect with something simple, with nature, and at the same time, you contribute to respecting the environment. Keeping the pool clean, respecting the sea, and taking care of the facilities are all part of the experience. The Punta del Hidalgo Natural Pool doesn't compete with golden sand beaches, but offers something different: raw nature, authenticity, and moments of serenity overlooking the Atlantic.

What to see
Mirador de Jardina
The Jardina viewpoint, on the outskirts of La Laguna, offers one of the most beautiful views in northern Tenerife: the La Laguna valley with Mount Teide in the background. It's easily accessible, with parking and a rural setting of orchards and traditional houses. Ideal for stopping for a while, taking photos, and enjoying the scenery.
Activities
Área Recreativa Llano Los Viejos
If you're looking for a picnic area within Anaga that's more secluded and less crowded than others, Llano de Los Viejos has a very different feel. Here you're immersed in the laurel forest, with frequent mist, humidity, and that typical silence of the northern mountains. It's a more enclosed spot, perfect for relaxing, having a picnic or barbecue, and disconnecting from the hustle and bustle.
Beaches
Piscina natural de Jóver
The Jóver Natural Pool in Tejina is an authentic and tranquil coastal retreat, where the Atlantic Ocean softens between walls of black lava. Surrounded by seafaring houses and a pleasant local atmosphere, this pool offers clear waters and an ideal setting for relaxing, swimming, or enjoying the sound of the sea. Its traditional essence makes it one of the most authentic bathing areas in northern Tenerife.
Nightlife
Shopping
Ron Guajiro
If you want to try a rum with a true Canarian identity, Guajiro is one of those that's part of the local culture. You'll notice it especially in the honey rum: sweet, smooth, and very easy to drink, perfect after a meal or on the rocks. They also have drier and oaked versions if you prefer something more robust. It's a very local product, the kind you'll find in traditional bars and shops around the island.
Sports
BMX Parque la Vega
The BMX circuit at Parque de La Vega in La Laguna is one of the most active spaces for freestyle enthusiasts in northern Tenerife. Surrounded by greenery and a youthful atmosphere, it offers a course with ramps, jumps, and modules ideal for practicing technique and style. It's a regular meeting point for local riders who appreciate its relaxed, community-oriented atmosphere, open to all levels.
Trekking
El Tomadero
A circular route in Anaga Rural Park connecting Punta del Hidalgo with El Tomadero, ascending via a channel carved into the rock and descending through the ravine. It's approximately 6 km with little elevation gain, but includes technical and exposed sections that increase the difficulty. The channel is in very good condition and clean, although it can be quite vertigo-inducing in some places. The descent through the ravine is rocky and uncomfortable. A short but demanding route, not recommended for people with vertigo.
