Where to eat

Mero Pancho, in Tajao, is a casual seafood restaurant that stands out for allowing you to choose fresh fish or seafood directly from the display case, with fast service and a welcoming atmosphere.

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
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.
