Vilaflor, with an altitude of 1,400 m, is the highest village on Tenerife, situated south of the Teide volcano.

[1] Before the arrival of the Europeans in the 15th century, the territory was inhabited by the Guanches, the first settlers of the island, belonging to the kingdom or menceyato of Abona.

Once the conquest is over, the colonizing process begins with the distribution of land and other goods among the conquerors and settlers by the new governor Alonso Fernández de Lugo.

Today, vines and potatoes, as well as fruits, flowers and vegetables are grown in the surrounding region.

Vilaflor is currently the least populated municipality on the island of Tenerife, with 1,645 inhabitants in 2018.
