Araya, Mountain village in Tenerife, Spain
Araya sits at an elevation of 800 meters on the foothills of Ladera de Chafa, overlooking the Güímar Valley in northeastern Tenerife.
In 1737, the Bishop Pedro Dávila documented Araya with 45 households, marking its establishment as a settlement focused on wine production for spirits.
The village honors its patron saints with celebrations for San Juan Bautista in June and Santa Rita in October, featuring religious ceremonies and local events.
The TF-247 road connects Araya to surrounding areas, while TITSA bus line 123 provides regular service from Santa Cruz through Las Caletillas and Candelaria.
Two certified hiking trails, SL-TF 294 Los Brezos and SL-TF 296 La Mesa, start from the San Juan Bautista Church, leading to mountain viewpoints.
