Tucked away in the wild Anaga mountains, you'll find the abandoned hamlet of Las Palmas de Anaga, a place that feels truly lost in time. Reaching it is part of the adventure, involving a strenuous but spectacular hike of about 3 hours from the car park at Benijo. As you traverse the trail, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and dramatic cliffs. The reward is discovering the historic 17th-century hermitage and hacienda, a quiet testament to a bygone era, surrounded by the raw beauty of the national park.

I love how the landscape keeps changing around every corner — dramatic cliffs, endless ocean views, ancient rock formations, and the iconic Agave Alley stretching through the wild terrain. Passing through tiny villages with just a handful of houses feels like stepping back in time.

The energy here is something special: raw, peaceful, and untouched. A place where nature reminds you how small you are, yet makes you feel completely alive.
