View of Mount Teide

Highlight • Viewpoint

From where can you not actually see the Teide? Once again a great view of the volcano that one can only love. In addition, rugged rocks and the surf of the Atlantic Ocean.

March 4, 2024,El Sauzal und das Krokodil

We stay in the area of our accommodation and drive a short distance to El Sauzal. There is said to be a crocodile on the coast.
Parked near the church, we head down a hill through Parque Los Lavaderos.
Things get exciting again at the Mirador de Las Breñas. A steep path, the Camino de Las Breñas, leads down to …

April 16, 2026,Puntillo del Sol, Costa Sauzal, Los Lavaderos (Circular)

Today I went out alone in familiar surroundings. The Costa El Sauzal is calling again! The shortcut from the foot of Puntillo del Sol is still legally accessible (marked as closed by komoot). Via a steep but safe rock path, it goes down to Playa Rojas. The construction ruin El Esqueleto towers above it as an architectural sin. The view …

January 28, 2024,Von El Sauzal nach Las Breñas

Today was my last day on this beautiful island of Tenerife. The weather was perfect for hiking. Little wind, 23 degrees. The Costa de Sauzal is a nature reserve and, for me, an incredibly beautiful place. I captured this unique landscape for you. The “hiking path” down was a very rocky mountain path with a gradient of up to 30%.

November 14, 2024,🇪🇸Teneriffa- Naturgewalt Wasser 🌊 trifft auf Land 🪨 Costa El Sauzal

Today we had a lazy Thursday and took a nice little walk along the wild coast in the Costa El Sauzal nature reserve.
First a steep descent on a rocky path through the natural landscape down to the promenade path along the coast. Here on the north coast it is relatively dry and only here does the "beak of El …

Beautiful coastal tour through a uniquely beautiful landscape. Can be hiked in either direction. However, the ascent is challenging for the inexperienced. A stop can be recommended both at the end of the Tozr and in the Cafeteria Delei té.

November 25, 2023,Wanderung an der Costa de El Sauzal

Getting to the starting point is very adventurous, steep hairpin bends with occasional alternative options. Once you reach the bottom, parking spaces are also limited (if necessary, start the route at the top)
The first 1.5 km are on a very well-developed flagstone path, then on a field path. From there a path crosses, you follow it uphill to the …

April 27, 2024,Wanderung um La Costa

Actually, it was only supposed to be a hike on the Costa El Sauzal. The slightly higher circular hiking trail on Komoot was unfortunately a one-way uphill street. Perhaps that was because no one was going downhill. But maybe it was meant to be that way. We passed a restaurant and were able to get some refreshments. We then went …

January 17, 2023,Regen im Lost Place + Klettereinheit bei El Sauzal

Rain! Simply that way. Yes, that happens in Tenerife, but not now!
I'm standing in an abandoned house (which I'd really like to know what it used to be because there's a mini bunker right next to it) when it starts to rain... to pour!
Crap!
I'm in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of an impassable descent.
So …
