Anaga is a highland region located in the northeastern part of Tenerife. Its rugged mountains, sharp peaks, and deep ravines draped in lush laurel forests make this place one of a kind. It is a hidden gem that lies less than an hour's drive from both La Laguna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the island's capital, Santa Cruz. Due to its cool and humid climate, Anaga Rural Park presents an untouched landscape with breathtaking hiking trails, pristine beaches, quaint villages and a rich array of local flora and fauna. The park has a visitor centre where local guides can recommend the kind of hike that is best for you. All routes and trails are very well indicated, not to mention that they also provide maps. Venturing into this unique haven is an absolute must when visiting the island.

The next unmissable landmark is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, built allegedly on Jesus's burial place. A historically accurate and possibly emotional way to reach the church is through the Via Dolorosa: this street of the Old City is said to have been walked by Jesus on his way to crucifixion. Every Friday, Roman Catholic believers walk the same street in a procession and stop at nine Stations: spots that commemorate significant events in Jesus's last hours. The last four Stations are located inside the church.
