It is a picturesque coastal town located 14 kilometres from the historic centre of La Laguna, comprising an urban area and a small rural area, partially included in the protected area of the Anaga Rural Park.
A traditional summer resort for the people of La Laguna, this fishing village enjoys an exceptional climate all year round thanks to the influence of the trade winds. Visitors can enjoy the natural seawater pools, which have been awarded the Blue Flag for the quality of their waters and their compliance with environmental regulations regarding health and safety infrastructure. Access to the pools is free all year round. With its iconic lighthouse as a guide, local activity revolves around them.
The area is completed by the small Castillo beach, protected from the strong winter waves of the northern sea by a breakwater. This is where the Bajamar promenade begins, an accessible area that runs along the coast. The promenade can be extended from Punta del Viento, next to the Yacht Club, to the urbanised area of Laguna Mar. And in this family-friendly environment, we haven’t forgotten about the little ones, who can also have fun thanks to the children’s play areas in the town, which are adapted and accessible for all.
The entire route is dotted with numerous natural pools, such as Charco Marianes, Charco La Laja and Charco Redondo, which have traditionally been used by local residents.
There are many restaurants in the surrounding area offering typical Canarian dishes, rich in fresh seafood from this region.
