Almáciga between black sand and hiking trails

At the foot of the hamlet of Almáciga lies Playa de Almáciga, in the Parque Rural de Anaga. This starting point gives the place a clear geographical context. For travel planning, the coast, hiking, and culture can be considered as separate areas of focus alongside one another. You can assign different priorities to the individual topics independently instead of placing them in a fixed order.

Coast and Landscape

Playa de Almáciga combines areas of black sand with rocky sections. The beach has changing currents, and the surf is usually quite strong throughout the year. Several surf schools on the island train at Playa de Almáciga. When planning your own day, you can weigh the different coastal aspects separately and consider the beach based on more than just one characteristic.

Hiking Trails

The PR TF 04.1 Mirador de Amogoje – Almáciga is a short PR hiking trail in the Anaga Mountains. On the PR TF 04.1, bus route 946 can be assigned to the outward journey to Mirador de Amogoje and the return journey from Almáciga to the Intercambiador Santa Cruz. The PR TF 06.2 connects Roque de Las Bodegas, Almáciga, Benijo, and El Draguillo.

The trail designations provide two different ways of organizing your own planning: one by the explicitly named trail type, and the other by the places connected. This allows you to read the two route descriptions separately without mixing up their respective focuses. When choosing which route description to use, you can first check whether the connection is clearer through the named trail type or through the sequence of places. Both forms of organization make different information visible without needing to be combined into a single route description.

When staying in a holiday apartment in Almáciga, travel dates, the stated room category, and cancellation conditions are three separate points of comparison. You can consider these details alongside one another and then compare them with your personal priorities regarding the coast, hiking trails, or culture. For your selection, you can first note the travel dates and then check which room category is specified. The cancellation conditions are an additional, independent point. Only afterward do these accommodation details stand alongside the thematic priorities, without any one of them automatically replacing the others.

Culture and History

Almáciga is home to a temple dedicated to the Virgen de Begoña, who originated in Bilbao. The Virgen María de Begoña is the patron saint of Almáciga. The present-day Church of the Virgen de Begoña in Almáciga was inaugurated on June 1, 2019.

The image also has its own historical connection: the image of Nuestra Señora de Begoña was placed in the local hermitage in Almáciga on May 14, 1950. The veneration of the Virgen de Begoña in Almáciga is connected with the arrival on the coast of Almáciga of a bottle containing her image.
