FAQ
What is the view from Jardina?
Down over the Aguere valley with La Laguna on the floor of it, the airport beyond, and on a clear day the eastern coast. It is a townscape view rather than a wilderness one.
How far is it from La Laguna?
Five to ten minutes by car on the road climbing towards the Anaga ridge. It is the first stop of any consequence on the way up.
Is it worth a special trip?
Not on its own. It is worth stopping at on the way into Anaga, which is a trip worth making, and it costs nothing but the pull-in.
Is there a car park?
A roadside space rather than a car park. There is generally room, because it gets a fraction of the traffic that the Anaga viewpoints further up receive.
Is it often clouded over?
Less than the higher viewpoints on the ridge, being lower down, but the same weather applies. The northern side of the island catches the cloud the trade winds carry.
What is La Laguna worth seeing for?
It is the island's original capital, a planned sixteenth-century grid that is on the UNESCO list and served as the template for colonial towns across the Americas. It is also a working university town.
