Poris de Abona: Coast, Nature and Culture

At Playa del Porís, there is an area where surfing is regularly practised. For planning your trip, the themes of water, nature, history, cuisine and literature can be considered separately. Those who want to combine different interests can explore the aspects of the town by activity, landscape, past, food and event culture. This clear separation helps you plan a stay not only around a single item on the agenda, but also structure it according to your own priorities.

Coast and Water

The Travesía a nado El Porís–La Punta is a traditional swimming crossing that returned in a new edition. It covers 1,350 metres from the old pier of El Porís to Playa Grande in La Punta. The two endpoints make the route a concrete connection between El Porís and La Punta. When planning your own trip, you can consider different forms of activity and the specifically stated route as separate aspects. You can classify the route and the form of activity independently of each other. Playa Grande is next to the town of El Porís.

Nature

Tabaibal del Porís is an area of scientific interest. Tabaibal del Porís contains a habitat typical of the Canary Islands, where protected species occur, including aulagas and corazoncillos. The landscape of Tabaibal del Porís is characterised by Malpaís. Its scientific classification, Canarian habitat and Malpaís character present specialist, biological and landscape features side by side. For your own assessment, you can read these details separately: as a scientific classification, as a description of the habitat and as a landscape characteristic.

Harbour and the Past

The cove, or Puerto de Abona, in El Porís served as a shipping point for exports to other islands and to the Iberian Peninsula. Well into the 20th century, Puerto de Abona in El Porís retained an increasingly important harbour function. The harbour reference combines the specific purpose of shipping with the historical development of the same location.

Coast and Cuisine

The restaurants on the coast of El Porís specialise in fresh products from the sea.

Other places to discover are Jaca and Punta Cueva De Los Moñigos.

Water, nature, history, cuisine and literature offer different perspectives for this. The choice of accommodation remains distinct from the thematic decision to visit the town.

Culture

The Feria del Libro in Porís de Abona included bookshops and publishers, book signings with female and male authors, arts and crafts stalls, workshops for children and adults, and storytelling events. When considering the programme, the formats can be distinguished by age relevance, crafts, interaction and storytelling. The formats mentioned range from printed offerings and personal encounters to practical and storytelling events. The third edition of the Feria del Libro “Polinizando la lectura” was scheduled to take place entirely in Porís de Abona on 13 and 14 June.
