Macizo de Anaga

It stretches from the Punta de Anaga in the northeast to Cruz del Carmen in the southwest.

The mountains were formed by a volcanic eruption about 7 to 9 million years ago making it the oldest part of the island.

[2] Since 2015 it is also an UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and is the place that has the largest number of endemic species in Europe.

The Macizo de Anaga is also rich in archaeological finds, among which is the Mummy of San Andrés belonging to the ancient Guanche.

It is about the so-called Anguila peluda, which was a monstrous eel of great size that inhabited a puddle at Punta de Anaga and that terrified the local people.
