Keep reading… We don't want to fall into typical places, we want to show you places that you've never been told about before. Did you know that in Tenerife there is a type of subtropical forest called laurisilva? It is not the only island where you can find this type of vegetation, but we promise you that the forests of Tenerife are a true oasis. If you come to Tenerife, a mandatory stop is the Anaga Rural Park, in the northeast of the island. More than 14.000 hectares make up this park, where you will walk for 2 hours and a half surrounded by the most exotic greenery. A hidden paradise in the municipality of La Orotava. Its crystalline waters, its fine sand of volcanic origin and its surface (160 meters long) make it one of the most charming beaches in Tenerife. El Bollullo is synonymous with magic, nature in its purest form and a fairytale landscape. We recommend you go spend the day at the beach and end the afternoon at its beach bar. Gran Canaria is another island that can boast of landscapes. An enclave known to only a lucky few is the Barranco de las Vacas, in Agüimes, in the southwest of the island. It is a geological canyon formed by the force of water thousands of years ago. Its canyon measures 50 meters, and due to its characteristic rock formations, you will believe that you are in the famous Antelope Canyon of the United States. We recommend that you go first thing in the morning, as it is a small space and everyone wants to see it, so it fills up quite quickly. We are not lying, it is a true natural monument. Our fourth recommendation is the seabed of La Restinga, a marine temple located in El Hierro. It is a diving sanctuary where you can immerse yourself among all kinds of animal species, from turtles, dolphins, tuna... and even the occasional whale shark. It is the Canarian museum of biodiversity, and if you visit El Hierro you cannot miss the opportunity to practice scuba diving. Its depths reach up to 300 meters and the water temperature is around 18-25 °. If you have never dived before, there is a wide range of diving schools that will take charge of teaching you and will make you have the best experience. On the island of Fuerteventura we have a small desert, the Corralejo Dunes. It is a space declared Natural Park since 1982, and a mandatory stop on your trip to the Canary Islands. The landscape of this park is amazing, with a sea of white sand dunes whose surface reaches 2668.7 hectares. It is an idyllic place for a running route in the middle of the desert. A circular route of 20km with a negative and positive slope of 170 meters that stands out for the spectacular beauty of its landscape. Whether you're a runneror not, you'll fall in love. It has not been easy to be left with only 5 places in the Canary Islands, but here are our recommendations. An advice? Bring your camera, you will want to record all these places so you will never forget them.
