Parque Rural de Anaga
The massif at the north-eastern tip, among the island's oldest geology, with laurel forest, isolated hamlets and black beaches reachable only on foot or by boat. A Biosphere Reserve since 2015. From Icod it is at the opposite end of the island: give it a full day.
Circular La Ensillada – Cabezo del Tejo (El Pijaral)
Anaga's famous 'enchanted forest': relict laurel woodland inside the El Pijaral Integral Nature Reserve, with the Cabezo del Tejo viewpoint over Taganana and the north coast. A 6.44 km loop, 2 h 30, moderate.
Playa de Benijo
An open, wild Anaga beach, 300 m long, dark sand that vanishes at high tide. No promenade, and only a footpath down from the hamlet.
