The Malpaís ("wasteland") of Rasca offers many beautiful hiking trails through barren terrain with vibrant colors, cacti, and a rocky coastline leading to the lighthouse on the south side. Absolutely stunning! 🤩

Rugged rocky coastline and dusty wasteland overgrown with cactus bushes. Still incredibly beautiful.

Los Cristianos is a town on the southwest coast of Tenerife, the largest of Spain's Canary Islands. A wide promenade runs along the port and the beach of Los Cristianos, a water sports centre. Vendors sell handicrafts and clothing at the nearby Los Cristianos Market. To the northeast is Monkey Park, an interactive zoo with various species of primates, as well as parrots and iguanas. Whales swim off the coast.
