In Mazo, close to the airport, there is the Cueva de Belmaco*, a cave with prehistorical engravings. From here you also have a great view over the coast.
	In Fuencaliente you can enjoy of the unusual contrast of vineyards and volcanic craters. Best known are the craters of *San Antonio* and *Teneguía*, the latter having erupted for the so far last time in 1971. Puerto de Naos is a traditional fishing-village with splendid beaches of fine sand.
Also Tazacorte, surrounded by large plantations of bananas, has a picturesque port and fine beaches to offer. Over the beautiful valley of Los Lanos de Aridane is located the view-point *El Time, from which you can overlook the National Park Caldera del Taburiente. Cueva Bonita*, close to Tijarafe, is a beautiful grotto really deserving a visit. Around San Andrés and Sauces there are large and beautiful woods.
