Masca

Masca is one of the most impressive villages on Tenerife and is considered by many to be the highlight of a convertible tour on the island. Nestled in the Teno Mountains, this small mountain village is surrounded by a breathtaking landscape of rugged rocks, deep gorges, and lush vegetation. Just the drive along the winding road is an unforgettable experience – narrow, steep, curvy, and with spectacular views. For convertible drivers, this means pure driving pleasure with a hint of adventure.

Tradition and Authenticity

Until the 1960s, Masca was only accessible on foot or by mule, and it has preserved much of its original atmosphere to this day. The few houses in the village cling to the slope, surrounded by palm trees, agaves, and wildflowers. There are small cafes and shops offering local products such as goat cheese, honey, or handmade souvenirs. Despite its popularity among day visitors, Masca never feels overcrowded – everything here feels slowed down and authentic.

Starting Point for Nature Experiences

A highlight is the famous Masca Gorge, which can be hiked in about three hours down to the Atlantic coast – a true insider tip for active travelers. For convertible drivers, however, Masca also serves simply as an idyllic stopover to enjoy the tranquility of the mountains and take a break at one of the terrace cafés with a view of the sea. The view over the deep valleys to the neighboring island of La Gomera is simply breathtaking when the weather is clear.

A Must on Every Island Tour

The drive to Masca is an experience in itself. Those coming from Santiago del Teide or Buenavista del Norte are rewarded with winding roads, spectacular rock walls, and magnificent panoramic views. The route is made for a convertible tour on Tenerife – with the wind in your hair and the sun on your face, every curve becomes a discovery.

Masca is not a place you just visit – you experience it. Those who take the time to explore will be rewarded with one of the island's most impressive sceneries. And for those traveling in a convertible, they will find one of the most beautiful routes in Tenerife here.
