Roque del Caramujo
About
Roque del Caramujo serves Tenerife as a viewpoint at 38300 La Orotava, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, high on the northern slopes of the island. A rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 25 reviews reflects how visitors judge the outlook. La Orotava sits above Puerto de la Cruz, and the road up from the coast is the usual approach for anyone coming from the northern resorts. The location places the viewpoint in the Orotava valley, on the greener northern side of Tenerife.
Visitors should expect a natural vantage point rather than a built attraction, with the valley and the coast opening out below. The 25 reviews behind the 4.6/5 score come from those who have made the climb. Puerto de la Cruz lies closest on the coast, while Santa Cruz and La Laguna are further east along the northern corridor.
The western Canary Islands are greener and wetter, while the eastern ones are arid, sandy and more exposed to wind, which explains the contrast between Tenerife's two sides.
Volcanic soils across the archipelago support small vineyards and banana plantations, and several islands make their own honey and cheese. Spanish is the main language, spoken with a distinctive Canarian accent and vocabulary.
