Trip suggestions |
|
|
Close to Agaete you will find the
beautiful and vigorous valley Los Berrzales, sure to be the
most vigorous place on all of the Island. Almost all the different
plants of the Island are represented. The beautiful nature and the
idyllic peace makes this trip very favourable. |

History |
|
|
Agaete,
also called the Whitewashed city, is situated in the midst of one of the
most vigorous areas of the Island with coco palms, sugar canes,
coffee trees and many kinds of fruit trees, among them
avocados, oranges, mango and papaya.
Puerto de La Nieves is a typically Spanish fishing village, full of
picturesque charm. It's become very popular with the tourists since the
opening of the ferry line to Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Over the years, the fishing
industry has declined and tourism has taken its place. The authorities have
made considerable investments into this industry over the past few years.
They've built a beautiful new promenade
with excellent seafood restaurants, galleries, and craft shops. There's also
a new hotel near the Guanche cemetery and some apartments blocks behind the
harbour that all blend in very well to the surroundings.
There's a tiny church in the port called the Ermita de la Nieves. It houses
a beautiful 16th century painting depicting the virgin and child. It was
created by Flemish artist Joost Van Cleve. This is one of the town's best
treasures and is well worth checking out.
Head to the south of the village and you'll come to the fascinating "Dedos
de Dios" which literally means God's Finger. It's truly stunning - a massive
30-metre pinnacle of basalt rock that sticks out dramatically from the
strange but impressive rock formations behind.
Sometimes, under certain light conditions, the solitary rock gives off a
surreal, otherworldly appearance - quite spectacular and an excellent photo
opportunity. |
