Monumento Natural de La Montaña de Los Frailes

Monumento Natural de La Montaña de Los Frailes is one of those special spots that makes you understand why Los Realejos holds such charm. This volcanic cone rising over 370 meters stands majestically above the Orotava Valley, offering absolutely spectacular panoramic views covering the entire northern area of Tenerife. The best part is that reaching the summit is an easy and rewarding walk, perfect for the whole family, taking no more than half an hour from the recreational area at its base.

At the top, a delightful surprise awaits: the Ermita de la Cruz, a small chapel crowning this natural space and adding a cultural and historical touch to the volcanic landscape. The area has been a meeting point since pre-Hispanic times, first as grazing land and later as a site for small agricultural operations. Today it's a beloved destination for both locals and visitors who come to enjoy its trails, recreational area, and the restaurants with terraces surrounding this natural monument—perfect for an outdoor escape with breathtaking views.
