Playa de Almáciga (Anaga).
Les invito a visitar mi blog de fotografía y senderismo (Tenerife y La Palma).
Gracias por vuestras visitas y comentarios.
Hay otra en el primer comentario, muy parecida, con otra exposición del agua.
Almáciga es una entidad de población perteneciente administrativamente al Distrito de Anaga del municipio de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, en la isla de Tenerife —Canarias, España
Destaca por encontrarse en ella la playa de Almáciga, afamada para la práctica del surf.
Otros atractivos del núcleo son la presencia de algunas viviendas tradicionales representativas de la arquitectura rural canaria
Está situada en la vertiente norte del macizo de Anaga.
En cuanto a su paisaje sobresalen en la cumbre las formaciones geológicas conocidas como Roques de Anjua y el Roque Negro del Pijaral.
El acantilado costero bajo el núcleo posee también cierto interés. Además destacan en el litoral la presencia de numerosas bajas, peñascos de superficie generalmente plana aislados en el mar.

Está situada en la vertiente norte del macizo de Anaga, a una altitud media de 75 m. en una planicie acantilada entre los barrancos de Almáciga y de La Laja o del Roque, a 26,7 km del centro de la capital municipal. Ocupa una superficie de 1,32 km² que abarca tanto el núcleo urbano como una extensa zona rural y natural, incluida íntegramente en el espacio natural protegido del Parque Rural de Anaga. La zona de cumbres del caserío forma parte además de la reserva natural integral de El Pijaral.
Durante la celebración del Xacobeo de 1945 un grupo de fieles que salió desde Bilbao en barco con dirección a Santiago de Compostela tiraron una botella al mar con un mensaje y cinco estampas de Nuestra Señora de Begoña.
La botella fue llevada por las corrientes hasta la playa de Almáciga, donde fue recogida por varios vecinos que contestaron al mensaje. En respuesta, se les envió desde Bilbao una réplica exacta de la imagen de Nuestra Señora de Begoña por petición de los vecinos de Almáciga. La réplica fue colocada en la ermita de Almáciga el 14 de mayo de 1950.
La playa del Roque de las Bodegas, o playa del Roque, está situada entre Almáciga y Taganana, en el norte del Macizo de Anaga, perteneciente al municipio de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, en la isla de Tenerife (Canarias, España).1
De arena fina y de color oscuro de origen volcánico, la playa del Roque es la más popular y familiar de las zonas de baño del norte de Anaga, ya que su oleaje aunque a menudo bastante fuerte, suele ser menor que en las playas próximas de Almáciga y Benijo.
La zona tuvo gran importancia desde los primeros momentos de la colonización de Taganana en el siglo XVI debido a poseer un embarcadero y a existir numerosas bodegas para la conservación del vino, lo que facilitaba su comercio con Europa y América.
La playa cuenta ahora con un embarcadero (situado en un roque que entra en el mar) y con una oferta en bares, restaurantes y apartamentos.

La spiaggia del Roque de las Cantinas ( Rocco delle Cantine), anche detta spiaggia del Roque (Rocco), è situata tra Almáciga e Taganana, nel nord del Massiccio di Anaga, appartenente al municipio di Santa Cruz de Tenerife, nell'isola di Tenerife (Isole Canarie) Spagna.
Di fina ed oscura sabbia di origine vulcanica, la spiaggia del Roque è la più popolare e familiare delle zone di bagno del nord di Anaga, poiché la sua ondosità benché spesso abbastanza forte, normalmente è minore delle spiagge prossime di Almáciga e Benijo.
La zona ebbe gran importanza dai primi momenti della colonizzazione di Taganana nel secolo XVI dovuto a possedere un imbarco ed ad esistere numerose cantine per la conservazione del vino, quello che facilitava il suo commercio con Europa ed America.
La spiaggia conta adesso su un imbarco reddito in una scogliera che entra nel mare, e con un'offerta in bar, ristoranti ed appartamenti.

The beach of the Roque of the Warehouses, also called Roque’s beach, is placed between Almáciga and Taganana, in the north of Anaga's Mountain Chain, belonging to the municipality of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, at Tenerife Island (Canary Islands, Spain) .
Of thinny and dark sand of volcanic origin, the Roque’s beach is the most popular and and of family use out of the zones of bath of Anaga's north, since his surge though often very strong it is usualy better than that of the nearby beaches of Almáciga and Benijo.
The beach relies on a pier placed in a roque that enters into the sea and with an offer bars, restaurants and apartments.
The zone had great importanceright from the first moments of Taganana's settling in the 16th century due to the constructed pier and to the existing numerous warehouses for the conservation of the wine, which was facilitating the trade business with Europe and America.

La platja del Roque dels Cellers, o platja del Roque, està situada entre Almáciga i Taganana, en el nord del Massís de Anaga, pertanyent al municipi de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, a la illa de Tenerife (Canàries, Espanya).
De sorra fina i de color fosc d'origen volcànic, la platja del Roque és la més popular i familiar de les zones de bany del nord de Anaga, ja que el seu onatge encara que sovint bastant fort, sol ser menor que a les platges properes de Almáciga i Benijo.
La zona va tenir gran importància des dels primers moments de la colonització de Taganana al segle XVI a causa de posseir un embarcadero i a existir nombrosos cellers per a la conservació del vi, la qual cosa facilitava el seu comerç amb Europa i Amèrica.
La platja conta ara amb un embarcador situat en una escolera que entra en el mar i amb una oferta en bars, restaurants i apartaments. platja, celler, sorra, "sorra fosca" sorra volcanica", "massis d'Anaga", Anaga, comerç. embarcador, beach, "thiny sand", Volkcanic sand", pier,

Roque de las Bodegas is a beach and hamlet located in the area of Taganana. The beach is made up of a combination of shingle, pebbles and volcanic black sand and is located right at the foot of the near-vertical cliffs of the Anaga mountain range where they meet the Atlantic Ocean. This area of the Tenerife's north coastline is often described as the island's very own version of the rugged Napali (or Nā Pali) Coast located on Kauai, Hawaii.
A number of restaurants have set up along the edge of the beach here and are known for offering simple Canarian dishes such as fried fish, salad, and papas arrugadas, or wrinkled potatoes, served with mojo sauces.
The mountainous terrain we see in the distance as we look west, is that which was viewed from several hundred metres above sea level in the Taganana Valley image posted a few days ago.

Yet another shot from Roque de las Bodegas - a beach and hamlet located in the area of Taganana, taking its name from the rock formation seen here which stretches into the Atlantic, although from this angle, its lengthy extent out into the Atlantic - as viewed in the previous image post - is not explicitly apparent. The small settlement consists primarily of restaurants and small shops these days, and is located right at the foot of the near-vertical cliffs of the Anaga mountain range on Tenerife's north coast.
The site is said to have been of great importance to the Taganana area since the 16th century, by virtue of the presence of a small jetty running alongside the rocks which enabled the trading of wine with Europe and America. Barrels loaded with Canarian wine are said to have been loaded to trade ships via a cableway installed by locals with the name of the rock and settlement translating literally to 'Rocks of the Wineries'.

Another from the series at this location, all taken in a short thirty minute stop on an excursion around the north-east of Tenerife in late December 2019. Having reiterated the description of this site and its history for the past few images, a little about the formation of the island and the history of the Anaga range in general instead now follows.
Millions of years ago, a series of violent volcanic eruptions led to the formation of a land mass comprising three main volcanic areas which emerged from the Atlantic in an almost triangular formation, to the west, to the south and to the north-east. Volcanic processes continued to shape the development of Tenerife for subsequent millions of years, particularly in the formation of a huge volcanic structure connecting all three of these mountain ranges at the centre of the land mass which eventually collapsed leaving the Teide caldera we can see today. The three original mountain ranges which helped establish the island remain today. Those in the south came to be known as El Roque del Conde, to the west are the Teno Mountains while the Anaga Mountains seen here are those from the original north-east corner of the land mass.
The Anaga range is now both a protected 'Rural Park' and a UNESCO World Heritage Biosphere Reserve and, by virtue of its coverage in large laurel forests known as laurisilva which thrive in the humid but mild climate, it is the area in Europe that is said to have the highest number of endemic species.

The view here is taken looking back towards the island from a point mid-way along the rock formation.
