On one side you'll have views of this Eden and on the other, you'll be able to see endless barren plains that disappear into the horizon until they are meet by long hills.

You will find centres that have their own pre-set routes and others that allow you to organise your own itinerary or that will suggest places to do it. If so, we recommend: Muellito beach, Los Lagos beach, or Marfolín beach. These beaches are somewhat difficult to understand, as they have no colour and are totally translucent.

- You will also find horse riding routes in Antigua, a municipality in the central-eastern part of the island. This region offers breath-taking horseback rides that will take you into a science fiction film. Here, absolute silence prevails, transporting you to a distant, uninhabited planet as you ride through valleys and ravines of reddish tones. A place par excellence within the municipality of Antigua to go horse riding is Triquivijate, a really secluded place in the centre of the island, literally in the middle of nowhere, perfect to disconnect from absolutely everything. The natural landscapes usually attract attention for their abundant vegetation, but believe us when we tell you that those arid, inhospitable and dry places with ochre and reddish tones (like these), also have a captivating beauty and you will discover that when you get to know this region that is immersed in countless ravines, such as the ravine of La Arena, La Tosquilla, La Higuera or El Diviso. All of them have sinuous and capricious shapes, and a walk around them is an adventure out of this world. By the way, Triquivijate is only a 5 minute drive from the Majorero cheese museum, and we recommend that you visit this temple of flavour afterwards to experience first-hand a little piece of Canarian gastronomy that is acclaimed worldwide for all the awards it has won.
