Cruz del Dornajito

Cruz del Dornajito is the end point of the Camino Real de Chasna itinerary published by La Orotava town council in its La Orotava SlowTours collection. The cross marks the start of the monteverde, the laurel woodland, and the point where private land is left behind. A natural spring here once quenched the thirst of walkers climbing towards the Teide, and the spot still holds moisture.

Playa Los Patos

Los Patos, also known as playa de Martínez Alonso, is a 900-metre strip of black sand at the foot of a protected cliff, between El Bollullo and El Ancón. Nothing breaks the swell here: the tides shift the sand and build a bank that breaks hard. You walk down from the end of the TF-176, there are no services and no lifeguards, and the town hall has closed the access for repair works.
