PROTECTED LANDSCAPES OF TENERIFE

GUĂA DE ISORA
Tejina Mountain Natural
The Natural Monument of the Mountain of Tejina in Tenerife, is a protected landscape located in the southwest of the island.
The place, which stands out for harboring threatened species such as the balillo (Atalanthus microcarpus), is dominated by an old volcanic dome that gives it its name.

Montaña de Tejina represents a particular element of the landscape in the west of Tenerife. With 169.7 hectares, the monument is located in the municipality of GuĂa de Isora. To the east of the mountain is the hamlet of Las Fuentes, currently depopulated, whose development was linked to an important dry farming.

The volcanic constituents of the monument are mainly phonolites and trachybasalts, materials of an acidic nature of Series II. The original volcanic dome was later covered by flows and salty pyroclasts. Subsequent erosion determined that the mountain was flanked by the steep ravines of Guaria and Cuéscara.
