Taganana is in town in the north of Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands. Its relatively remote location in the Anaga massif has spared it from destructive mass tourism, and it retains much of its authenticity which translates into traditional houses with rich architectural heritage and several wineries.

Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de las Nieves
Catholic church dating back to the 16th century. It is the seat of the parish of Taganana, one of the first to be founded after the conquest in 1515. The building has 3 naves, thick masonry walls, with red tuff ashlars in the corners. The northern corner of the main facade features a red stonework tower with semicircular arches that house the bells. A similar structure was planned on the opposite side but never completed.
Ermita de Santa Catalina Mártir de Alejandría
Built in 1621 in honour of St Catherine, martyr of Alexandria. Every year on 25 November, St. Catherine is celebrated here with a mass and procession of her image through the streets of Taganana.
Playa del Roque de las Bodegas
A cobblestone beach between Taganana and Almáciga.
Taganana can be reached over the road by highway TF134, although accessibility is difficult due to the steep 16% inclination of the road at several points through the Anaga massif.
Read in the guideTaganana is small enough to get around by foot, and you wouldn't find many parking spots for a vehicle anyway.
