Ravelo

Ravelo is a village set at high elevation in northern Tenerife, defined by traditional houses with flat roofs, colorful facades, and wooden balconies. The streets wind between these characteristic buildings, shaping the character of the settlement.

The settlement existed before the Spanish conquest of the Canary Islands in the 15th century. It preserves traces of indigenous Guanche heritage within its local traditions.

The village maintains traditional Canarian celebrations throughout the year that bring residents together. At these gatherings, regional music and dances echo through the streets while local dishes are shared.

The village is connected to major towns across Tenerife by multiple bus lines, while the north motorway TF5 provides direct access for drivers. Visitors should bring appropriate footwear for the elevation and changeable weather conditions.

The elevated position of the settlement offers simultaneous views of mountain landscapes and the ocean. Visitors experience a rare perspective that shows both highlands and coastline from a remote location.
