Tenerife is amazingly well preserved and the various towns and villages have retained their history through their artistic culture and architectural sights. One of the most famous examples of this is Adjele, which is a town that still has traces of its rich past ingrained in the town.

The town was also once a residence of one of the great Guanche Kings of Tenerife.

Teide National Park

In this park lies the highest peak in all of Spain at roughly 3,700 metres high and is actually a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
