Paisaje Protegido de la Rambla de Castro, Protected coastal landscape in Los Realejos, Tenerife, Spain
The Rambla de Castro covers 45.9 hectares of steep coastal cliffs with palm groves, dragon trees, and native Canarian plant species along the northern coast.
The protected area contains the 16th-century Castro Manor, established after the Spanish conquest when governor Alonso Fernández de Lugo divided the island lands.
San Fernando Fort, constructed in the 18th century, housed five cannons to defend against pirates attacking vessels departing from Tenerife to mainland Spain.
The four-kilometer trail begins at Los Roques beach and follows cobbled paths through ravines to reach the Hacienda de Castro with minimal elevation changes.
The 1903 Gordejuela water elevator ruins represent the first steam-powered pumping station on Tenerife, built to irrigate banana plantations in the Orotava valley.
