Santiago del Teide: Volcanoes, Cliffs and Living Tradition

Santiago del Teide is one of Tenerife’s most unique municipalities, stretching from volcanic summits down to the foot of the Atlantic’s most breathtaking cliffs. Discover the curiosities that make it truly special:

• The Battle Between Lava and Faith: In 1909, the town witnessed the island’s last volcanic eruption, that of Chinyero. As lava advanced towards the village, residents carried religious images into the streets. Miraculously — or thanks to the terrain — the lava stopped just before reaching the houses, an event still commemorated today.

• Stone Giants Over the Ocean: Along its coastline rise the Cliffs of Los Gigantes, towering basalt walls plunging into the sea from heights of up to 600 metres. The ancient Guanches called them “The Wall of Hell” due to their dark and imposing appearance.

• Almond Blossoms in Bloom: Unlike other parts of the island dominated by pine forests or laurel woodland, Santiago del Teide is famous for its almond trees. Between January and February, pink and white blossoms contrast dramatically with the black volcanic ash covering the ground.

• A Town with Two Climates: Thanks to its dramatic elevation changes, the municipality lives in constant climatic duality. While the historic centre may be cool and misty, the coastal area of Puerto de Santiago enjoys sunshine and mild temperatures almost year-round.

• Land of Pottery Makers: In Arguayo, one of the Canary Islands’ oldest traditions survives: aboriginal pottery. Remarkably, it is still crafted entirely by hand, without a wheel, using techniques passed down through generations since before the Spanish conquest.

• The Wool Route: The municipality formed part of ancient transhumance trails. Shepherds once guided their flocks from lower lands up to the slopes of Mount Teide, along paths that today hold significant scenic and archaeological value.

Wild landscapes, deep-rooted traditions and powerful history — Santiago del Teide is Tenerife in its purest form.
