Erjos, Mountain village between Los Silos and El Tanque in Tenerife, Spain
The settlement of Erjos stands at an elevation of 1273 meters, making it the highest point in Los Silos municipality of northern Tenerife.
During the 16th century colonization of Tenerife, Juan de Saucedo received large land grants in Erjos, establishing early European settlement in the area.
The agricultural heritage of Erjos centers on dryland farming practices and livestock raising, which shaped the local community over generations.
Visitors can reach Erjos via the TF-82 highway connecting Icod de los Vinos to Armeñime, with regular TITSA bus services available.
The Erjos pools, formed from former earth extraction sites, fill with water during rainy seasons, creating temporary lagoons in the landscape.
