Visit Masca, the most beautiful village on Tenerife

Having walked extensively across all the Canary Islands, I'd claim that not only is Masca the most beautiful village in Tenerife, it's the most beautiful in the Canary Islands.

When anyone asks what are the must see places on Tenerife the reply is automatically 'Mount Teide', quickly followed by 'Masca'. The tiny hamlet, hidden in the folds of the ancient Teno Massif in the west of Tenerife, is one of those places where no amount of poetic description can prepare first time visitors for the reality of its beauty.
