Vilaflor – the highest situated village on Tenerife

Monday, December 1st, 2008
Vilaflor is the highest situated village on Tenerife with 1400 meter above the sea-level. Around 3000 people live in this lovely village that is situated in a wonderful landscape with a lot of wonderful flowers. The climate up in the mountains is very clean and fresh. Thats why the village is very suitable for a sanatorium. Ausblick Vilaflor is the starting point for several very interesting walking tours to the Paisaje Lunar or the Cañadas. Above the village one can see some very big stone pines. Some of them have a hight of up to 45 meteres. Its really worth a visit. One can also see very interesting stoneformations of vulcanic origin. Kaktus Even though there is low rainfall in Vilaflor and the surrounding regions, people practice very intensive agriculture. One can see very picturesque terrace fields on both sides along the road ...



Market to scale new heights for highest town

Friday, April 13th, 2007
The highest town in Tenerife gets a new agricultural market this summer, set in the town square of Vilaflor. At over 4,500ft above sea level, Vilaflor is also Spain´s highest town. Inevitably, the new market will also become the country's highest. Vilaflor may be remote but it sits astride the well-trodden tourist route leading from the busy resorts of the south to the island’s crowning glory, Mount Teide. The new market will start with eight permanent stalls, where tourists and islanders will be able to buy locally grown and produced almonds, cheeses, local cakes and wines as well as examples of the town’s traditional lacework, known as ‘rosetas’. Initially, the market will be open at weekends only, though a definite starting date has still to be decided on.
