Inside the Teide National Park in Las Cañadas in Tenerife you will find an extraordinary natural platform from where you can contemplate the skies. The area is known as a Starlight Tourist Destination, and you can observe constellations and stars from almost any part of the park. It is also possible to view the stars at a professional level using the equipment of the IAC, the Canarian Institute of Astrophysics. Easy to get to by road, visitors can find their own viewpoint or use one of the official ones with parking alongside. There are toilets and a restaurant at the Parador Nacional (part of a national string of tourist hotels) and El Portillo is also close by.

Mountain Wines: "made in Islas Canarias", this is the wine produced by the light and the volcanos

If the southern route of Fuerteventura is equivalent to bathing and endless beaches, the northern route is not far behind, although with the added charm of the interior of the island and mythical mountains since aboriginal times. Departing from Puerto del Rosario, a renowned capital and shopping area, this excursion by car leads to the village of Tetir and the protected area of Vallebrón, which includes two large ravines and a mountainous system at an altitude of 690 meters, one of the highest elevations on the island, proof of the softness of the relief of this island where the sun always shines.

La Palma is a visual treat characterised by lush greenness. As confirmation, all you have to do take this car trip from the port of Tazacorte, in the west, to the capital, crossing the northern slopes of the island. Although bends are inevitable, driving up to Roque de los Muchachos and enjoying the views of the Atlantic on the descent to Santa Cruz is priceless. The excursion can also be undertaken in the opposite direction, going towards the west of the island to end up in Tazacorte.

On the Island of Volcanoes, any excursion by car is marked by the blackness, the shapes of the lava and the contrasts with the oceanic blue. The center of Lanzarote is an excellent example and shows the merit of man in taming a nature that is highly resistant, for example, to agriculture. The vine planted on a layer of small fragments of lava never ceases to amaze one in an enclave that also offers us a stunning beach in the northwest, white inland villages that still respect its legacy and the foundation of the universal artist who best understood everything: the Lanzarote-born César Manrique.
