Pico del Inglés

Pico del Inglés, Mountain summit in Anaga Rural Park, Tenerife, Spain

Pico del Inglés is one of the highest mountains in the municipality of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the Macizo de Anaga, reaching 990 metres. A viewpoint stands at the summit, and the TF-114 road loops around the peak before returning to the TF-12 between San Andrés and Las Canteras.

The summit was originally called Pico de las Aguilillas, probably after the birds seen from the area. After a foreigner died falling from the spot, people began saying "there, on the peak where the Englishman is", which became the current name. The dead man was not English but Austrian.

The name Pico del Inglés comes from a misnomer: the peak was originally Pico de las Aguilillas, and the current name arose from the phrase "there, on the peak where the Englishman" after a foreigner died falling there — though he was Austrian, not English. The TF-114 road loops around the summit to a viewpoint.

The TF-114 road reaches the summit and loops back to the TF-12 between San Andrés and Las Canteras, one kilometre away. The PR-TF 2 long-distance trail starts at the viewpoint and runs from Taborno to Valleseco. Just below, at a junction called Cuatro Caminos under the Cabezo del Viento, two branches split: east to Catalanes and Las Casas de La Cumbre, west down to El Tomadero through the Monte Aguirre exclusion zone.

The peak was originally called Pico de las Aguilillas, likely for the birds seen there. The current name comes from a phrase used after a foreigner died falling from the spot: "there, on the peak where the Englishman" — though the dead man was Austrian, not English.
