Introducing El Pinar & the South
The serene El Pinar pine forest covers a long swath of the southern half of the island, casting cool shade over the volcanic terrain and providing an excellent destination for a day hike or a scenic drive. The lonely highway that cuts through El Pinar connects the eastern rim of the forest with the Ermita de Nuestra Señora de los Reyes, on the western side of the island; countless trails branch off the main road.

Further south, the pines drop away and raw volcanic rock formations dominate the landscape as you descend towards La Restinga, the island’s scuba-diving capital and its major tourism centre.
