Guia de Isora Holidays

Guia de Isora's sunny shores, laidback eateries and sweet promenades are what chilled-out holidaymakers hope for. The local market's perfect for a weekend wander, while Playa San Juan's the spot for jumping into the sea. You can find quiet parts of the beach for topping up your tan in peace, while other stretches buzz with watersports and tapas restaurants.

With oodles of fishing villages and harbours, boat trips are the thing to do here. Pilot whales and giant squid are just a few of the Mediterranean residents you might catch a glimpse of. Day trips to Costa Adeje are worth a shout, too, with waterparks, hiking trails and beaches all within reach.

From traditional Mediterranean meze platters to hearty seafood paella, there are loads of top-notch options around the area. Snack on olives and manchego cheese, both fabulous when washed down with a fizzy tinto de verano. Famed for its homemade bread, Lupulo Restaurant takes time-honoured Spanish classics to the next level.

If climbing's your cup of tea, Guia de Isora has some gems. Mount Teide is a tourist favourite for its jaw-dropping views of the volcanic coastline. Masca's a pint-sized mountain village that punches way above its weight in terms of views. The hairpin turn-filled drive up there isn't for the faint-hearted, but it's well worth it for the scenery.
