Tejina, Tenerife — ocean views, local heritage and laid-back streets

Tejina sits between the Anaga foothills and the Atlantic on Tenerife’s northeast coast. This photo walk starts with a panoramic overlook and moves through the town’s highlights: the Church of San Bartolomé, quiet cemeteries and trails, beekeeping sites on volcanic ground, and the everyday rhythm along the TF-13 with small shops, supermarkets and leafy streets.

Coastal panoramas over Tejina

The best way to place Tejina on the map is from above, where the coastal plain, farms and the blue Atlantic open wide to the horizon.
