Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, is a paradise for photographers. With its stunning landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and unique flora and fauna, Tenerife offers endless opportunities for capturing breathtaking images. From the rugged volcanic terrain of Mount Teide National Park to the lush forests of Anaga Rural Park, Tenerife's natural beauty is truly awe-inspiring. The island's charming towns and villages, such as La Orotava and Garachico, are also great places to explore and photograph.

Watching sunset from the rim below El Teide.
The easiest to get here is to park your car down at TF-21 and walk a few kilometers up here.
I didn't plan to stay here until the night, but the weather was nice and the location so beautiful that I waited somewhat longer to get a night exposure as well.
Benijo is a pretty remote beach, but definitely worth the trip. The sea stacks and beach boulders offer plentiful opportunities for compositions.
Photo Tips: Any time of day can be interesting here. I'd prefer sunrise, but sunsets can be equally good. Watch out for waves!
Getting there: It's about an hour of mountain driving from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, so start early. Be careful while driving, since there's a lot steep curves, but the road is in a good condition, so nothing dangerous in case you are careful. There's parking right above the beach, but only for some tens of cars, which is more than enough for mornings, but might be harder to park in the evening.
On the plateau of el Teide, the 3718 m high volcano on Tenerife a bizarre rock formation has the merit of this title. Actually the volcano rises 7500m from its base on the ocean floor.
Este dia fue una aventura, un sitio que llevabamos tiempo queriendo visitar, el amanecer no nos regalo grandes colores pero el lugar impresionante. Con ganas de volver.
The Sun got through the clouds for just a short while, but enough to enjoy a beautiful morning!
Taken shortly after sunset on a beautiful warm evening, almost no wind, really nice place to enjoy!

El Roque Cinchado es una de las formaciones rocosas más singulares y emblemáticas de la isla de Tenerife (Canarias, España). Se halla dentro del Parque Nacional del Teide (Patrimonio de la Humanidad) en el municipio de La Orotava, junto al volcán del mismo nombre, en pleno corazón de la isla. El Roque está situado a unos 300 metros por debajo de la cumbre del volcán del Teide y a 2000 metros sobre el nivel del mar, es una formación de origen volcánico, pertenece a una alineación de grandes formaciones rocosas, restos de la antigua cumbre de la isla, conocidas como "Roques García". El Roque Cinchado es una famosa formación rocosa, de hecho su imagen aparecía en los billetes de mil pesetas con el Teide a sus espaldas.
I'd prefer sunset here, but since the access to this location is limited, sunrise was easier to arrange. Fortunately, it's beautiful here any time of day and as a bonus, I had the lighthouse all for myself for an hour or so. Beautiful morning!

Very early morning everything was dark, except for the white illuminated village of Almáciga. This viewpoint doesn't disappoint in any time of day or weather!
La Basílica y Real Santuario Mariano de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria, declarada Bien de Interés Cultural, es el templo más importante del municipio y uno de los principales templos del archipiélago, pues es donde se encuentra la imagen de la Patrona de Canarias. Es de hecho el primer templo mariano de Canarias,9 así como uno de los principales santuarios marianos de peregrinación de España. La actual basílica data de 1959 y fue construida sobre una antigua iglesia. Destaca su alta torre-campanario, a sus pies se encuentra la Plaza de la Patrona de Canarias. Desde que la imagen de la Virgen apareciera en Chimisay, en torno a 1392, el primer gran santuario a la Virgen de Candelaria fue el construido en 1668. Tras el incendio de este templo en 1789 y el aumento de las peregrinaciones de los devotos, se creó la necesidad de construir un templo más grande (la basílica actual), que tiene capacidad para 5.000 personas.
