Icod de los Vinos is one of the essential stops in north-west Tenerife, known for the Ancient Dragon Tree, historic streets and access to volcanic attractions.
Ancient Dragon Tree
Check current ticket and opening information through official channels before travelling. The landmark is best combined with time in the town rather than treated as a quick photo stop.
Old town and local food
Walk the centre, enjoy the small squares and choose a relaxed local meal. Parking is easier outside the narrowest streets, so explore on foot once you arrive.
Cueva del Viento
The volcanic-tube visit requires separate planning and official booking. Do not assume same-day availability.
Road-trip planning
Icod combines well with Garachico, El Caletón or Isla Baja. Allow time for slower north-west roads and choose fewer stops for a better day.
