Explore Northern Tenerife
Find guides to the greener part of the island, including historic towns, black-sand beaches, viewpoints, coastal walks, and lesser-known places worth exploring beyond the usual tourist route.
Northern Tenerife is the side of the island I know most deeply, as it’s where I live and keep exploring far beyond the obvious stops. On this page, I’ve brought together my guides to favorite places, personal finds, quieter corners, and locations that deserve more attention than they usually get.
Start here if you want to experience a more local side of Tenerife with its historic towns, dramatic coastline, black-sand beaches, interesting cafes, and places that feel interesting well beyond the usual tourist route.
