El Sauzal

The charm of a town with delightful views

If there's one thing that makes El Sauzal stand out as special, more than its charming nooks and crannies, it’s the panoramas. Located in the north of Tenerife, perched on a cliff, the whole town is one enormous viewing point, from where visitors can admire a unique view of Teide, standing watch over the Orotava valley, or the shimmering blues of the Atlantic Ocean. Removed from the typical tourist trials, El Sauzal is perfect for those in search of peace and tranquillity.

One of Tenerife's best sunsets

The plaza de San Pedro and its church, the fourth church built in Tenerife following the Spanish conquest, is a good place to begin your exploration of El Sauzal. A few feet above you will find the park and viewing point of Los Lavaderos, a small oasis of water and vegetation where time stands still. And when the sun begins to set there is nothing better than to relax on one of the café terraces with a drink and allow your senses to be captivated by the amazing sunset.

Sustainability

- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
- Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
- Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
- Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
- Respect and look after the area's historic and cultural heritage, along with the different items of public furniture (information panels, railings, seats, lighting, etc.).
