The trail that connects El Sauzal with Fuente del Pino, in La Matanza de Acentejo is a perfect route for those seeking a peaceful walk steeped in local history. Along the way, hikers traverse rural landscapes typical of northern Tenerife, dominated by vineyards and cobbled paths that once connected neighboring villages. The constant proximity of the sea on one side and the imposing silhouette of Mount Teide on the other make this a scenic and highly photogenic experience.
The final stretch leads to Fuente del Pino, a natural spring surrounded by vegetation, which for generations served as a meeting point for shepherds, farmers, and hikers. This place, rich in symbolism, retains its serene and almost mystical atmosphere, ideal for a pause before beginning the return journey.
The elevation gain is moderate, making the route accessible to hikers of varying levels, although comfortable shoes and some water are recommended. It exemplifies how local trails not only allow contact with nature but also with the memory of the island's traditional rural life. A short, easy and charming walk.

Where to eat
Ravelo el Canario
If you want to try traditional Canarian cuisine, you've come to the right place. At El Canario, you'll find home-style, unpretentious food with generous portions: escaldón (a Canarian stew), puchero (a hearty stew), fabada (Asturian bean stew), goat meat, carne fiesta (a Canarian dish), or rabbit—all well-prepared and very reasonably priced. The service is friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere relaxed, and it's not uncommon to find a queue. You'll leave full and eager to return.
What to see
Mirador La Garañona
Mirador La Garañona, in El Sauzal, is one of those natural viewpoints that takes your breath away from the very first moment: sweeping views over the cliffs of Acentejo, Arena Beach (La Garañona), and the endless Atlantic Ocean. The landscaped area with benches and pathways allows you to enjoy the panorama in a relaxed atmosphere, and you can even have a coffee on the terrace while admiring the scenery.
