Tamadaba Natural Park

Some of the nature reserve's most outstanding assets are a set of diverse and beautiful landscapes, along with large, extraordinarily well-preserved pine forests.

Tamadaba is a huge massif that encompasses the ecosystems of steep cliffs such as Andén Verde and the cliffs and slopes of Guayedra. Curious rock formations due to erosion can also be observed. Pine forests of great ecological value stand out, such as those of Tamadaba and Tirma, excellently preserved and home to several endemic bird species, such as the Gran Canaria blue finch and the Great Spotted Woodpecker. In fact, it is classified as a Special Protection Zone for Birds. Tockroses, cardoons and tabaibas grow in the lower areas. Palm tree groves appear in the riverbeds of the ravines. Visitors can also admire the exceptional Canary Island cedar and native species, such as the magarza and the bird's tongue fern.
