It belongs to the municipality of Santiago del Teide and you will find cozy beaches like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webtenerife.co.uk\/what-see\/beaches\/playa-puerto-santiago.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Playa del Puerto Santiago<\/span><\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webtenerife.co.uk\/what-see\/beaches\/playa+de+los+guios.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Playa de los Gu\u00edos<\/span><\/a>, with Los Gigantes in the background.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Strolling through the streets, you can taste the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webtenerife.co.uk\/blog\/category\/gastronomy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">gastronomy of Tenerife<\/span><\/a>, including one of the restaurants with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webtenerife.co.uk\/blog\/2017\/11\/tenerife-hosts-the-michelin-guide-gala-2018-and-adds-its-sixth-star\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Michelin star<\/span><\/a>: El Rinc\u00f3n de Juan Carlos. You can also go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webtenerife.co.uk\/what-see\/lookout-points\/mirador-archipenque.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Archipenque lookout point<\/span><\/a> if you would like to have another perspective of the town.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Whales and dolphins swimming in front of you<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">One of the most beautiful activities in this area of \u200b\u200bTenerife is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webtenerife.co.uk\/blog\/2018\/10\/dolphin-watching-in-tenerife-dont-miss-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">observation of whales and dolphins<\/span><\/a>. You can make boat trips of different duration to see the graceful cetaceans swimming in their natural habitat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webtenerife.com\/elblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Delfin-nadando-los-gigantes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3829\" src=\"http:\/\/www.webtenerife.com\/elblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Delfin-nadando-los-gigantes-690x460.jpg\" alt=\"Los Gigantes Delf\u00edn Nadando\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The observation of marine mammals is worthwhile in Tenerife, as they are seen at 80% of the days throughout the year. Depending on the length of the excursion you can even take a little snack on board and take a dip in some remote coves of Los Gigantes. Highly Recommended!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Los Gigantes, guardians up to 600 metres high<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But undoubtedly, the absolute protagonist of this 360-degree image is the steep coast of Los Gigantes. At some points it reaches a height of up to 600 metres and is therefore one of the most impressive natural monuments of Tenerife.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webtenerife.com\/elblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Los-Gigantes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3830\" src=\"http:\/\/www.webtenerife.com\/elblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Los-Gigantes-690x441.jpg\" alt=\"Los Gigantes olas\" width=\"650\" height=\"415\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This &#8220;geological accident&#8221; is of volcanic origin and extends over several kilometres in the municipalities of Santiago del Teide and Buenavista del Norte. In the Guanche era, this natural wonder was called \u201eWall of Hell&#8221; by the ancient inhabitants of Tenerife who believed that the end of the world was behind these cliffs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Fortunately, we can still admire this gift of nature as much as the Guanches.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Punta de Teno, an almost hidden natural treasure<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The last treasure on this 360-degree image is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webtenerife.co.uk\/what-see\/outdoor-attractions\/teno-country-park.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Punta de Teno<\/span><\/a>, one of the most remote and beautiful corners of Tenerife.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webtenerife.com\/elblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Punta-de-Teno.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3831\" src=\"http:\/\/www.webtenerife.com\/elblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Punta-de-Teno-690x518.jpg\" alt=\"Punta de Teno vistas\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the left side of the picture is a small plain.
