Masca, Tenerife

Masca is a remote mountain village perched in a deep ravine within the Teno Massif in northwest Tenerife, reached by a winding road of hairpin bends through volcanic ridges. The village itself is a cluster of traditional stone houses surrounded by terraced gardens, while the gorge below offers a challenging hike descending to a small black-sand beach accessible only on foot or by boat. The interplay of rugged cliffs, dragon trees, and sea views makes it a classic Canarian photography subject.
