Dog-Friendly Parks & Nature in Tenerife

Spain's most visited national park, a vast volcanic caldera around the 3,715 m Teide peak, the highest point in Spain. Dogs are not allowed on the Teide summit cable car or in the strictest reserve zones, but leashed dogs are accepted on many of the lower marked trails and roadside miradors across the Las Cañadas plateau. Always check current signage and the park rules before setting out.

A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of ancient laurisilva (laurel forest) covering the rugged northeastern tip of Tenerife, with deep ravines, ridge trails and tiny hamlets. Many of its marked footpaths welcome leashed dogs and offer cool, shaded walking that contrasts with the dry south. A favourite escape on hot days.

A relaxed seafront green space in El Médano with shaded paths, benches and easy access to the promenade and the Playa del Cabezo dog beach. The most convenient everyday leashed walk for visitors staying in the kitesurf town, with the volcanic Montaña Roja rising behind.
