A scenic (totally breathtaking) coastal trail that brings you to an old water plant (you can see it from above only).
The best time to hike here is in the morning (during the summer) or in the late afternoon when the sun is not strong. Sunsets are gorgeous from here.
You can drive close to this spot or park a car in the neighborhood and better walk along the entire trail which has views during the entire length

The Elevador de Aguas de Gordejuela, also known as Casa Hamilton, is an industrial ruin near Los Realejos, Tenerife. Built-in 1903 by the Hamilton company, it was used to pump water from the Gordejuela Springs to banana plantations in the Orotava Valley. The system, which included the first steam engine in Tenerife, aimed to provide fresh water for irrigation and power a flour mill. Despite its current state of disrepair, the site remains a popular tourist destination, offering a glimpse into the island's industrial past.
