Atlantic Oasis: secret corner where trails start

A secret corner in the shadow of the Anaga Massif and on the shore of the immense Atlantic Ocean. This accommodation is an 'Oasis' by the sea, a haven of calm, untamed and wild, for those who want to get lost somewhere between the lush green of the mountains and the eternal blue of the sea. From its doorstep, trails start to get lost in nature and natural pools and black sand beaches are reached only known by locals or those looking for a different experience.
This Oasis is a small house located in a lost hamlet, in the Taganana area. It is a haven of peace, lulled by the murmur of the waves, and only interrupted by the occasional sound of seabirds. It is located a few meters from the sea and at the foot of the Anaga Massif, Natural Park.
The Oasis is calm for all types of guests: for those who love nature, practically from the accommodation, trails start that go into the Anaga Massif, an authentic prehistoric jewel. For lovers of the sea, a few meters away are some small natural pools and the exotic black sand beach of Tachero, which at certain times of the year presents a sand bank that goes up to 100 meters into the sea.
The decoration of the house combines the most Canarian rustic style with some very selected elements of modernity and comfort. It is divided into three usable floors: accessing from the bottom you reach the cozy and bright living room-kitchen with a sofa bed. It's a nice seating area to have a small snack while food is prepared in their rustic-looking (albeit renovated) kitchen. The kitchen, with its handmade wooden cupboard, has a microwave and all the necessary utensils for the stay.
If we take the stairs, we access the second floor, where the bedroom is located, spacious and bright, from which there is access to a small balcony where you can glimpse the immense sea and the mountains. The bed in the bedroom is a double bed, with the possibility of electronically reclining and separating into two single beds, if the guests so wish. Also, the room has a television for those guests who wish to use it. On that same floor, we find the recently renovated bathroom with a shower tray. On the top floor, we find the best part of this Oasis, its center: the terrace-roof partially covered by a porch (during the sunniest hours) and from which you can see the immense Atlantic Ocean and the Anaga mountains. It is an unbeatable place to soak up the first rays of sun with breakfast or spend the late afternoon and early evening with a good bottle of Malvasia wine from the island.
The accommodation is located in the Taganana area but in a remote hamlet, which is even unknown to many locals. It is accessed through a road that goes down the hill of the Macizo de Anaga to the shore of the beach. Several hiking trails start from the farmhouse that get lost in nature along the coast and up the mountains, for those seeking adventure. In addition, in front of the farmhouse there are numerous practically private bathing areas, such as puddles that are created with the tides and a virgin sandy or pebble beach, also depending on the tides and the time of year. The location in this virgin and secluded area is the magic of this Oasis. Very few know it. Using the car you can also reach the best hiking trails on the island that start from other points of the Anaga Massif, one of the last redoubts of Laurissilva in the world. The Laurissilva is a type of exuberant and prehistoric vegetation that is only preserved on some islands of Macaronesia (Canary Islands and Azores). A few kilometers away by car we also find some of the best beaches on the island, those preferred by the locals and with exotic black sand: Roque de las Bodegas, Almáciga and Benijo.
The best way to access the accommodation is by car. Being in a protected area in the middle of nature and in the middle of hiking trails, the farmhouse is accessed through a narrow dirt road that descends to the sea, so it is recommended to arrive at the accommodation while there is still daylight. There are parking areas in the hamlet, although at certain times of the year and at certain hours it may cost a little more because one of the few inhabitants of the hamlet is there at that time.
