Further details
There are many beautiful and interesting villages and towns on Tenerife worth mentioning for a variety of different reasons, but one town which may often get overlooked is Arafo.
Situated in the South East of Tenerife, only 35 minutes from each of Tenerife´s two airports and only 25 minutes from Santa Cruz, this stunning place is where you should head for a taste of authentic Spain in majestic surroundings.
Much of the borough, particularly higher up, is classed as National Park and is perfect for hikers. There are plenty of walks through the valleys and barrancos alongside the tight belts of vineyards and orchards. The natural beauty of the lava rivers that never quite made it to the sea and the ravines surrounding the town, such as the Añavingo ravine (important because of its outstanding endemic species) make the views spectacular.
The town itself is attractive enough to warrant any visit. In a particullarly excellent example of town planning, the peculiar layout and striking cleanliness and orderlyness of the buildings, streets and squares lead you straight to the town centre every time.
Arafo is well renowned for its love of music and all things musical. The town centre reflects this with a large gazeebo and an interesting statue of a naked lady dancing with a long string of musical notes.
This is a town of history too. Arafo appears with this name in the first ever records of Tenerife at the beginning of the 16th Century, but before the Spanish conquest this town was a very important Guanche area and the name Arafo lives on from them. There have been many burial caves discovered among the precipices and summits of the mountains guarding the horizon.
Colonists settled all over the area right from the start. The growth of Arafo was never large or fast because of its distance from the sea, but the people lived well from farming many different crops and it´s 5,000 inhabitants still mainly live off agriculture.
