The Badlands (Malpaís) de la Rasca is a rugged coastal area with little vegetation, but still beautiful. Great coastal walk between Palm-Mar and Faro Punta de la Rasca lighthouse.

Hiking

A fantastic hiking trail leads through the beautiful, rugged landscape of Malpais de La Rasca. The many succulent species, the volcanic cone of Montana Grande, and the roaring Atlantic Ocean are all stunning sights. The trails are rocky, so hiking boots are recommended. On a clear day, you can see Mount Teide. The Punta de La Rasca lighthouse is also located along the route.
