What people say

"If you want to know the countryside of Tenerife, beyond the tourist centers, a visit to the village of Masca is inevitable. Enclave of unique and wild nature, located in the heart of the Teno massif, in the northwest of the island, Masca will surprise visitors for its well-kept homes and cobblestone streets, examples of Tenerife's living rural architecture. Borgo offers craft shops, bars and restaurants, and has been declared a Place of Ethnographic and Historical Interest. Its views and the color of its valley will make you feel like you are in Hawaii! Before leaving I recommend you eat the tropical fruit that is produced by local farmers such as mangoes, pineapple and kiwi!"
"The small village of Masca is located at an altitude of 650 meters above sea level. Its main characteristic is that of having been a Guanche village before the Spanish conquest in 1496, and for this reason it has preserved some of its ancient traditions over the centuries. The beauty of Masca lies not so much in the village itself, but in the surrounding landscape of cypresses and palm groves. 👣How to get there: by car via the TF-82 from Puerto de la Cruz, bus line 355 (stop: Masca). 🎟️Ticket cost: free "

"Masca is among the most popular stops for travelers visiting Tenerife, but there is a good reason for it. The tiny village overlooks the dramatic peaks and valleys of northwestern Tenerife. "

Tenerife truly stands out for its diverse panoramic views. From any point on the island you can reach an elevation above the clouds in less than an hour. Visiting its viewpoints is undoubtedly the best way to experience the island's charm. That's why I've decided to focus the guide on highlighting the 7 essential viewpoints 🤩 that should be included in any visit. You'll discover the island one viewpoint at a time. No matter how much time you have or what your interests are, your mission should be to make it to these viewpoints at all costs. Don't miss any of them. After that, you can take some time to relax on the beach or by the hotel pool...😎 The guide also includes: 📣 Essential Information: tips, towns, must-visit spots, local cuisine, top activities and more. 🍽️ 5 authentic 'guachinches' (local restaurants) 🍸 5 bars with stunning views 🍦 The best ice cream spot 🍝 4 places for international food 🍳 8 brunch spots 📍 + 100 pinned places to explore from anywhere on the island And if you still have time and energy, you can explore the list of 17 hidden gems 💎 These are lesser-known and unique places that are worth discovering. Many locals believe that sharing these places will only lead to them getting spoiled and lost forever... I'd like to think that this guide will be in good hands and that visitors will take care of the islands just as well or even better than we do🙏 Note: just click on any location within the guide or map and you'll instantly get directions on your phone's Google Maps app. Make sure to download the Thatch app for a seamless and convenient experience!
