Masca is the most dramatically situated village in the Canary Islands, a cluster of traditional stone houses perched on a narrow ridge in the Teno Massif mountains of northwest Tenerife, accessible only by a spectacularly winding road and reached via the famous Masca Gorge hike that descends to a secluded bay. The village has appeared in countless travel magazine lists as one of Spain's most beautiful rural settlements. Hotels in the Tenerife highlands and north coast provide access to Masca as part of an exploration of the island's wild and largely undiscovered interior.
