The Windows of Guimar is a hidden corner of the island of Tenerife, shrouded in mystery and danger. It is not just a series of narrow tunnels, but a true engineering masterpiece - an aqueduct designed to bring water from the high mountain streams down to the valley.
A hiking permit on Tenerife is an official authorisation issued by local authorities, mainly the Cabildo de Tenerife and the management of Teide National Park. These documents exist for three reasons: protecting fragile volcanic and laurel-forest ecosystems, capping daily visitor numbers on the most fragile paths, and keeping walkers safe on exposed or technically demanding terrain. From November 2024, eight routes on the island fall under this system. Below I explain which trails are affected, how to apply, and whether the paperwork is worth your time.

Perched on the seafront of Santa Cruz, the Auditorio de Tenerife pulls visitors in long before they step inside. From certain angles the concert hall resembles a ship cutting through the harbour, its white curves echoing a vessel's bow. Look again and the silhouette shifts. Architect Santiago Calatrava designed the 58-meter soaring roof to rise like a crashing wave, narrowing to a sharp point that ties the building directly to the Atlantic beyond. It is bold, sculptural, and unmistakably Canarian, anchoring the island's music scene since opening in 2003.
Lago Martianez is an outdoor pool complex located in Puerto de la Cruz. Since the north of Tenerife constantly experiences waves, such a complex is not only appropriate but also necessary. All the pools are filled with ocean water.
I have prepared a manual about transportation on the island: how to buy tickets, how much they cost, and how to plan your trip.
