Bursting Tradition

Discover the emblematic site that marks the end of the Spanish conquest of Tenerife, and discover the enchanting streets of El Medio and El Sol during the Feast of the Holy Cross and May Fireworks celebrations. Walk up to Icod el Alto and breathe in the air that consumed Bentor, the ‘guanche’ King, on his courageous way to freedom.

Dare to share the passion of Los Realejos for gun powder-scented celebrations…Find yourself surrounded with the subtle greenery of the lands where the first ‘bonita’ potatoes of the Canary Islands were grown…

Bursting tradition is interwoven with history on this trail for the more rigorous visitor.
