Tijarafe

Tijarafe - the beginning of the beautiful north

The municipality of Tijarafe stretches northwest of the Caldera, from'Mirador el Time' to Tinizara. The landscape is lovely green and marked by many thousands of almond trees, as well as the typical island dragon trees. Tijarafe became famous for its Devil's Celebration, to which thousands of guests visit the small community every year, as well as the'Smuggler's Bay', to which a short hike is worthwhile.

Schon von Weitem sieht der Besucher den majestätischen Lorbeerbaum, der auch der Plaza von Tijarafe angenehm kühlen Schatten spendet.

Even from a distance the visitor sees the majestic laurel tree, which also gives the Plaza of Tijarafe pleasant cool shade.
