- Duración: 1 h 40
- Temporada: All year
- Para quién: Almost everyone; with children, the first stretch to Almáciga

PR-TF 6.2 coastal trail · 4.4 km · 1 h 40 · Almáciga and Benijo beaches · Free

This is the path along Anaga's north coast: it leaves the hamlet of Roque de las Bodegas, opposite its black-sand beach, crosses market gardens to Almáciga beach, looks down on Benijo from its viewpoint and ends at El Draguillo, a hamlet with dragon trees and views of the whole coast of the massif. You come back the same way. The Cabildo gives it 4.44 km, 1 h 40 and low difficulty, with 365 m of ascent.
Benijo beach, closed
Santa Cruz Town Council closed access to Benijo beach as a precaution on 8 July 2024 because of rockfalls from the slope, and in 2026 it is still closed: the Local Police clear and fine anyone who goes down. The trail does not go down to the sand; look at it from the viewpoint. The Cabildo's information sheet also keeps a warning about rockfalls on the path.
In stages

Roque de las Bodegas – Almáciga. The shortest and flattest stretch, between farm plots. It is the one that works with children.
Almáciga – Benijo viewpoint. You climb above the coast until you see Benijo beach and the rocks in the water.
Benijo – El Draguillo. More solitary, with the north coast of the massif ahead of you. From El Draguillo the PR-TF 6 leaves for Chamorga, much harder.

Getting there
Take the TF-12 from San Andrés to El Bailadero and then the road that drops to Taganana and continues along the coast: about 35 minutes from Santa Cruz. There is parking beside the Roque de las Bodegas beach, scarce in summer and on Sundays. Without a car, TITSA bus 946 reaches Almáciga from the Santa Cruz interchange in a little over an hour; at weekends and public holidays it returns from Almáciga at 7:55, 10:15, 12:45, 15:30, 18:10 and 21:00.
