Look at the typical banana plantation of Rambla del Mar. This is one face of the serene coastal Realejos.

Icod del Alto's inhabitants have priceless views. Their best look-out is at La Corona which is at about 750m above sea-level. La Corona is for paragliding and has a club and web called www.flypa.es/en/ Find more information by La Corona bar... Flypa gives two landing options one of which is Playa el Socorro Los Realejos.
