Leaving from the Alegría quarter in Santa de Tenerife, capital of the island, at the height of the sea, we propose to climb, in four hours walk, the more than twelve kilometers and almost a thousand meters of unevenness that separate that point from the so-called Cruz del Carmen, famous and visited peak of the Anaga massif.
One of the most classic and recommended excursions within the island of Tenerife is the visit to the Millennial Dragon Tree of Icod de los Vinos, a natural monument of Spain since 1917, a marvel of nature with unfathomable beauty and mysterious appearance, as from another era, from another temporal dimension, from another world.
A few meters away from the dry southern slope of Anaga, culminating this ancient northeastern massif of Tenerife, there is a space dominated by moisture, fog, horizontal rain, moss, ferns and a very unique tertiary rainforest In its kind, deeply Macaronessian that we denominate: Laurisilva.
