Costa Adeje always has the ability to surprise, a trip along the coast to the west of Playa del Duque, will lead you to La Caleta, one of the loveliest villages in the south of Tenerife.

The village is quiet and sedate with a selection of small bars and shops, but the real beauty lies on the coast. A tight narrow walkway hugs the coastline and works it’s way around several points that jut out into the sea. Along here you will find some of the best fish restaurants in Tenerife, and as for fresh, well just look out and see the fishing boats bobbing up and down on the waves, and you can see where the catch comes from.

The series of small harbours are a wonderful place for individuals to fish with a rod and line or others chose to swim off the many metal ladders that lead into the waves. The sea has smoothed large slabs of rock and carved channels in them, a perfect place to lay out and catch the sun. Further to the west, a path leads over the headland to a remote area of coast that is protected as a site of scientific interest. due to the abundance of wild plants and insects.

La Caleta is a haven of peace and a draw for hikers and nature lovers to explore the coast and discover new colours and shapes. Just another example of the diversity of Costa Adeje, and a good reson to want to live there, check out some of the property offers on www.secondhometenerife.com .
