What to see and do in Buenavista del Norte

Buenavista del Norte
Village
One of the few municipalities in the Canary Islands to preserve its own founding charter, dated 1513, although as early as 1498 the adelantado Alonso Fernández de Lugo had granted land at La Fuente del Cuervo within its territory. It received the title of 'Muy Honorable Villa' on 9 September 1948. Its name refers, according to tradition, to the wonder felt by the Castilian conquerors at the beauty of its land.
Faro de Punta de Teno
Monument
A lighthouse designed by José Sanz Soler at the northwestern tip of Tenerife, the works for which were approved in 1889 and carried out between 15 April 1891 and 15 March 1893 using stone brought from La Gomera; it did not come into operation until 7 October 1897. Alongside the original 7.62-metre tower stands a modern concrete lighthouse built since the 1970s.
Parque Rural de Teno
Nature
A large part of the Parque Rural de Teno, one of the oldest massifs on Tenerife, formed over some seven million years, lies within the municipality of Buenavista del Norte; it includes Punta de Teno, the island's northwestern tip, and is part of the Natura 2000 network.
Caserío de Masca
Village
A settlement nestled in the Teno massif, famous for the deep ravine of Masca that surrounds it. Its historic ensemble is declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection), and the nearby Pico de Yeje (the Masca solar station) is a BIC-listed archaeological zone, one of the most important Guanche sites on the island.
San Antonio Abad en Buenavista del Norte
Activity
A January festival with cattle drives, dances and a pilgrimage, linked to the municipality's livestock-raising tradition, one of the few in the Canary Islands that still keeps oxen.
Virgen de Los Remedios (Buenavista del Norte)
Activity
The main patronal festival of Buenavista del Norte, held in October in honour of the Virgen de Los Remedios, patroness of the municipality's parish church.
