Getting Lost (Happily) in Masca: The Hidden Gem of Tenerife

#europetrip Tucked away in the rugged hills of Tenerife, Masca is the kind of place where you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled into a real-life fairy tale. Perched dramatically in a lush, green gorge, this tiny village is one of the Canary Islands’ most spectacular hidden gems. The journey to Masca is half the fun. Brace yourself for a winding road full of hairpin turns and jaw-dropping views of misty mountains and plunging valleys. The drive might leave your heart racing, but the reward is well worth it. Once you arrive, you’re greeted by a cluster of charming, terracotta-roofed houses nestled amidst towering peaks. A must-do here is the Masca Gorge Trail, a breathtaking hike that takes you from the village down to the ocean. It’s not for the faint-hearted, with steep paths and rocky terrain, but the views of volcanic cliffs and lush greenery are worth every step. If hiking isn’t your thing, simply stroll the cobbled streets, take in the serenity, and marvel at how this little village seems frozen in time. Don’t leave without indulging in local Canarian flavors. Try the almogrote, a garlicky cheese spread, or papas arrugadas with mojo sauce, all while soaking in the unbeatable views from a terrace café. Masca may be small, but its charm is colossal. Whether you’re chasing adventure or just peace and quiet, this slice of paradise will steal your heart in no time.
