View of Casa Hamilton

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ruin Casa Hamilton - La Gordejuela was built in 1905 by the English family Hamilton, which was revolutionary at the time, because previously the precious water of the numerous springs had been allowed to flow freely into the sea. Thanks to the conveyor system, it was then possible to supply the surrounding regions with water.

View of Playa de Castro

Highlight • Viewpoint

The hacienda of the Portuguese Castro family is embedded in the Rambla de Castro nature reserve. The estate dates from the 17th century and has served as a backdrop for films and theater productions in recent years. After the conquest of Tenerife by Alonso de Lugo, the land was allocated to the Castros, who then became large landowners. They first grew sugar cane on their land, and later also wine, which came from the small natural harbors below the hacienda to England by boat.

February 11, 2023,2023-02-11 Teneriffa Nord zum Mirador San Pedro

February 11, 2023 a well-established tour to the Mirador San Pedro. I love this coastal hike.. Sea, old buildings, cliffs and all this is complemented by large palm groves and not to forget the old mansion La Casona. It went up through the Urbanización Rambla de Mar with its huge banana plantations and later on the Camino Real finally to …

Cloudless skies, 24 degrees, ideal conditions for a hike. Since my car is in the garage, I'm going to the Mirador San Pedro again. I've done this tour many times before and it's always beautiful. On the way down to the sea I pass through large banana springs and notice that the storm has caused some damage in the past …

Whenever we have lovely guests who don't know the hiking trail to the Mirador San Pedro, I feel obliged to walk the trail with them. Rain is actually forecast for midday, but we're lucky and it stays dry. When we get back, my sweetheart has prepared a delicious snack for us.

January 29, 2025,Küstenwanderung bei Puerto de la Cruz 🌴🌤️

Today @Norbert took us on a spectacular coastal hike. We walked up and down the steep coast near Puerto de la Cruz above the mighty surf. It's unbelievable how big houseplants like ficus and dragon trees grow here... and I didn't know that banana plants were so huge. 😲

Now that we've been here for a good week, it's time for a little hike. I'm taking it slowly, the change from minus 14 degrees to suddenly 24 degrees plus has to be digested first. So once again a nice tour from my front door to Mirador San Pedro. It feels like you've been there a hundred times and it's …

November 14, 2025,20251114 🇪🇸 Teneriffa: El Toscal - Mirador San Pedro

To get settled in, we started with a leisurely walk from our holiday apartment today. Unfortunately, we couldn't walk down to the Mirador de Los Roques viewpoint – the path was still closed for safety reasons due to the high waves, which was perfectly understandable after the incidents of the past week.

15.1.2022 the weather didn't look so perfect today "thanks" to Calima, a sandstorm from the Sahara.
It should be a hike nearby.. so on to the Mirador de San Pedro. I love this coastal walk..sea, old buildings, cliffs and all this is complemented by large palm groves. We added something to the tour and continued to Rambla de Castro and …

January 9, 2026,Buenos días Teneriffa 🇪🇸🌊☀️😎 - unterwegs in der Rambla de Castro

The Rambla de Castro is a beautiful protected natural landscape that combines natural diversity with traces of agricultural work. Our path led us along cliffs and across a wooden bridge over a gorge, through banana plantations, past old farmhouses and what is probably Tenerife's most famous lost place, the "Casa Hamilton" (the ruins of a steam power station). And all …
