Bajamar by the Sea: Holiday Apartment between Saltwater Pools and the Anaga Mountains

Bajamar invites you to take a journey between saltwater pools, a coastal path, two hermitages and the network of trails in the Anaga Mountains. The place is particularly vivid at the natural saltwater pools: the complex consists of two large pools and a small children’s pool. Swimming is possible in the seawater; the pools have also been awarded a Blue Flag. Access is free all year round and includes ramps and handrails for older people and people with reduced mobility. When planning your day, you can treat swimming and the path as separate focuses.

Coast

The Bajamar seafront promenade is a largely accessible path that runs along the coast. The coastal landscape also includes Playa del Castillo, which is protected from the strong winter surf of the northern sea by a seawall. Charco Marianes is one of the natural rock pools along the Bajamar coastal path and was traditionally used by local residents. For planning purposes, you can consider the promenade, Playa del Castillo and Charco Marianes as distinct coastal features. The three elements can be included in your day separately or in varying order.

Nature and Character of the Town

Bajamar includes a small rural area and an urban area. The rural area lies partly within the protected Parque Rural de Anaga. The rural area and urban area are two different types of space in Bajamar; you can take them into account separately when planning your own activities.

Hiking

The network of trails in the Anaga Mountains includes the PR TF 12 route from Cruz del Carmen to Bajamar. Bus route 105 is part of the PR TF 12 route for the return journey from Bajamar to the La Laguna transport interchange. For planning purposes, you can note the hiking trail and the return journey as two separate points. The route and the coastal path represent different types of activity, which you can consider as separate focuses of your stay.

History

The Ermita de San Juan Bautista dates from 1628 and forms part of a historic estate that is of some importance to Bajamar. Within the village of Bajamar stands the Ermita del Gran Poder de Dios de Bajamar; it was built in 1881 by Don José Domínguez Romero and his wife. Visitors who appreciate historical details can consider the two buildings as independent stops. The different years give each of the two hermitages its own historical timeframe.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Bajamar, you can compare travel dates, apartment category and cancellation conditions on the respective listing page; the three fields provide a clear framework for planning, while you can base your choice of location on the themes of coast, nature and culture.
