Anaga is the north-eastern tip of Tenerife, a range of steep ridges and laurel forest. It is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
The route
From San Andrés or La Laguna, take the TF-12 to the Cruz del Carmen and Pico del Inglés viewpoints. Narrow side roads drop to Taganana and Benijo on the north coast.
What the road is like
The roads are narrow, with tight bends and few places to pass. Local buses use them too. Expect an average speed of about 30 km/h.
Which car to choose
A compact car with good visibility is the easiest here. The Range Rover Sport SVR handles the steep sections well; a low sports car needs extra care on the side roads.
Weather
The ridge is often in cloud, and the road can be wet when the coast is dry. Drive with headlights on.
