Alcalá, Tenerife sunset promenade, seafront park and town square walk

Alcalá on Tenerife’s west coast offers a calm evening walk: a palm-lined promenade over volcanic rocks, family-friendly parks, and a compact center with everyday shops. This gallery follows a simple route around the seafront and through the streets at sunset to show what visitors actually find here.

Seafront promenade and viewpoints

The walk starts on the cliff-edge promenade where streetlamps glow over the Atlantic. Benches face the water and the low light picks out the lava formations below.
