"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.

"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. "
