I love Tenerife, its beautiful and much much under-rated as a destination for getting into the great outdoors. 30mins from the hoardes and you could in the middle of nowhere. Superb food too!

and its about 4000 years old

a little bit younger... (http://www.iknow-canaryislands.co.uk/tourist_information/tenerife_holidays/tenerife_north/icod_tenerife_drago.htm)


Icod De Los Vinos situated in North Tenerife between Garachico and Puerto de la Cruz pulls in the daytrippers mainly for it's celebrated Drago or Dragon tree, thought to be more than 1000 years old (although officially it's dated at 800 years old).

It looks fantastic for road biking, the tarmac is very good on lots of the roads. But what about offroading? Any trails at all? I am guessing tricky what with a lot being National Park.

there are a few "marked" jeep trails and some quads were using them when we were there.

but as you say probably very limited as its mainly a national park.
