You will be able to walk its 1.5 square kilometres and caress all those plants used to living in communion with the environment, the psamófilas (adapted to the sandy soils of the area), the tabaibales and cardonales. They all have a different exotic air. Let the dunes tell you the history they have seen for hundreds of centuries, feel like a child when you see a fossil dune that recounts the fluctuations of the sea level during the slow passage of time.

Montaña Roja, a Volcano by the sea. The Montaña Roja volcano in El Medano draws an easily recognizable silhouette from many points on the island. With its 171 meters of altitude, it is a benchmark in the area as it separates the two best natural beaches in Tenerife, El Medano and La Tejita. Montaña Roja is a Special Natural Reserve that tries to protect a unique habitat as well as a series of certain animal and plant species. Obviously, also the geological character is of great value. Enjoy the views of some of the best samples of dune ecosystems or dunes in the western islands of the Canary Islands.
