Punta de Teno
Punta de Teno is where Tenerife’s northwest corner reaches into the Atlantic—an out-thrust tongue of land that belongs to the municipality of Buenavista del Norte. Standing at this cape, you’re literally looking at the island’s extreme noroccidental point, the kind of spot where the sea keeps changing the rules. And yes, this is one of those places where navigation has always mattered: the Faro de Punta de Teno sits right on the tip. It’s a simple, practical relationship—land and ocean in direct contact—but Punta de Teno also hints at something bigger. Teno is the name behind the wider Macizo de Teno, the rugged mass that shapes this coastline, so the scenery you see here is part of a larger, jagged story, not just a single dramatic point.
