As you walk, take in the agaves, prickly pears, palm trees, dragon trees and views of the <b>famous Roques d\u2019Anaga<\/b>, two monolithic rocks that emerge from the ocean off the eastern end of Anaga. Or how about embarking on a more challenging hike between Afur and Taganana that takes you along a superb mountainside path with ocean views? Along the route, a valley at the foot of the cliffs takes you to the <b>unspoiled black sand beach of Tamadiste<\/b>.
