The seawater swimming pools of Puerto de las Nieves have been created from old saltpans / desalination tanks. You can swim there very pleasant and there is usually a very chilled atmosphere. The pools are all connected and you can dive from one pool to the next. In some places you have to be a bit careful with barefoot, because the lava rock is a bit sharp and sharp-edged.

Always spring, in January the almond blossom, beguiling fragrances and the view to the Teide of Tenerife. In the evening the scent of the countless beach restaurants with the same invitation for a dinner. Become weak and give in, it does not cost the world ...

Natural pools that were probably used in the past for salt extraction and are now used as a natural swimming pool. It is best to take bathing shoes with you, the rocks are quite sharp.
