Quesería Artesanal Montesdeoca
Tijoco Bajo
Montesdeoca Artisanal Cheese Factory, located in Tijoco Bajo, Adeje, is a true benchmark in Canary Islands cheese production. Founded in 1984 by a family from La Palma, today three generations have kept alive a craft that combines respect for tradition with a constant pursuit of innovation. What began as a small farm has evolved to become Tenerife's most award-winning cheese factory, accumulating more than 70 national and international awards and being chosen several times as "Best Cheese of Tenerife."
Montesdeoca is home to more than a thousand goats whose milk, along with sheep and cow milk, gives rise to a variety of cheeses that are surprising in both their quality and creativity. Its specialties include the smoked semi-cured cheese, recognized as one of the best in Spain, cured cheeses in gofio or fig leaf, and more innovative offerings, such as pieces flavored with cocoa and cinnamon. Each cheese retains its artisanal essence, crafted with care and patience to deliver an authentic flavor.
The experience goes beyond the tasting: visitors to the cheese factory can tour the facilities, get up close and personal with the animals, and discover the production process step by step. Guided tastings, accompanied by local wines, allow you to enjoy a perfect pairing while learning about the island's cheesemaking tradition.
Ultimately, Montesdeoca represents the story of a family that has managed to keep an ancient tradition alive, adapting it to the present without losing its authenticity. It is a place where visitors not only savor an exceptional product, but also connect with the essence of Tenerife through its gastronomy.

What's more, it's not just a picnic area: several hiking trails start from here, so you can combine a walk and a barbecue in one day.
Beaches
Playa del Bobo
Playa del Bobo is a small, centrally located urban beach in Costa Adeje, perfect if you're looking for sun, sea, and convenience without having to travel far. It's about 130 meters long and about 50 meters wide, with dark golden volcanic sand, calm waters protected by breakwaters, hammocks, umbrellas, nearby restaurants, and a good promenade. Ideal for families, relaxing, or starting the day with a relaxing seaside experience.
Nightlife
Roca Negra
Roca Negra Sunset Club, in Playa Paraíso, is one of those places in southern Tenerife where you can enjoy a drink overlooking the sea as the sun sets. With beanbag chairs perched on the volcanic rock, direct views of La Gomera, and a daily gong show at sunset, it's a must-do for experiencing the sunset in style.
Shopping
Agromercado Adeje
The Adeje Farmers Market is a vibrant space where local producers offer fruits, vegetables, cheeses, honey, wines, and traditional pastries. Open on weekends, it's ideal for those seeking fresh, locally sourced produce in a warm, authentic atmosphere. A meeting point where the flavor of the land and the Canarian identity can be felt at every stand.
Sports
Street Workout
Training at the Playa San Juan Street Workout park is special because of its surroundings. Located right on the seafront, next to the promenade, the park offers direct views of the ocean and La Gomera while you work out, all within the tranquil atmosphere typical of this area in southwest Tenerife. The facility has everything you need for calisthenics and functional training, but what truly sets it apart is the location and the relaxed ambiance.
Trekking
Montaña Tejina
If you enjoy less crowded hiking in southern Tenerife, this circular route around Montaña de Tejina is a very complete option. You'll walk approximately 13 km around this large volcanic crag, over a thousand meters high, which was a sacred site and key center of social interaction for the Guanches. The route passes through ravines, ancient threshing floors, small hermitages, and traditional agricultural remains. There's hardly any shade, but in return, you'll have open panoramic views for much of the way and a constant sense of a rural, volcanic, and mystical landscape.
