An afternoon under cover
In Icod rain is not an accident: it is why there is laurel forest. A rainy afternoon is not endured, it is used, and the good thing about this municipality is that its best sight is underground.

The plan, step by step
Early afternoon
The Cueva del Viento, booked
Eighteen and a half surveyed kilometres: Europe's largest lava tube is in this municipality, nine minutes from the old town. A guided visit of about two and a half hours, groups of fifteen, minimum age five, closed shoes and compulsory online booking. It does not rain underground.
Mid-afternoon
San Marcos, a hundred metres from the dragon tree
The town's parish church, and what you visit when it starts to rain: it is a hundred metres from the dragon tree and the streets to it have arcades.
If there is afternoon left
A tasting, sitting down
Viñátigo's commented tasting — six wines in 45 minutes, or three in twenty — is the part of wine that does not depend on the sky. Booked on its website.
Good to know
If the cave is full, the Mariposario del Drago fills the same slot and is also indoors. The «A rainy day» itinerary has the whole day.
Goes with
An afternoon
A glass of wine before heading back
A winery of the Ycoden-Daute-Isora DO with a booked visit, the wine museum on Plaza de la Pila and dinner in the old town. Wine afternoon, ten minutes away.
A morning
A morning with children in Icod
Eight hundred butterflies under glass, a dragon tree you can do in twenty minutes and a beach with showers and black sand. Three stops within six minutes.
