Igueste de San Andrés is a small north-east Tenerife settlement reached through dramatic Anaga scenery. It is rewarding for travellers who enjoy a slow mountain drive and a less resort-focused coast.
Getting there
The road is narrow and winding. Drive patiently, expect slower progress and use designated places to stop. Check weather and access information before travelling.
Coast and walks
The landscape is excellent for views and walking, but sea conditions can be strong and paths need suitable footwear. Use marked routes and local safety information.
Respect local life
Park carefully, keep noise down and do not block residential access. Small villages have limited space and services.
Plan lightly
Combine Igueste with one or two Anaga stops at most. Bring water, a layer and enough daylight for a calm return journey.
