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.

Parque Los Lavaderos

Highlight • Viewpoint

The whole park is almost too good to be true. The view is indescribable. You can sit on the benches with a book, listen to the splashing of the fountain and let your gaze wander into the distance.

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 …

June 3, 2022,Teneriffa: Runde von El Sauzal zum Playa de Rojas

As a warm-up exercise for tomorrow's hike through the Masca Gorge, we made a detour to the tranquil little town of El Sausal today.

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.
