The area usually considered to be Costa Adeje is everything west of Veronicas up through Puerto Colon, Toriscas, Fanabe, Playa del Duque and La Caleta. This south Tenerife coastal resort stretch is being rather skillfully twinned with it's inland historic namesake - Adeje, which has a history stretching back to pre-hispanic times, plus a selection of historic archetecture and numerous walking opportunities, particularly the famous Hell's Ravine otherwise known as the Barranco del Infierno.

If you do by any chance get bored of the great beaches on the Costa Adeje stretch of coast, head inland for some superb Tenerife walking.

The path winds it's way up through the ravine where you'll see a variety of cactus. The path narrows as you move into the centre of the ravine and the vegetation gets denser. You can expect to see numerous indigenous Canarian plans including Canarian Willows. Other walks in the area include the Roque del Conde, Ilfonche to Boca del Paso and Camino de Carrasco.
Within the village of inland Adeje there's a host of historical buildings including the Strong house dating back to 1555. This Cas Fuerte was built as a defence against pirate attacks. It's closed to the public, but you can view it from the outside.
Also in Adeje is a convent dating from 1679 with interesting Baroque boardering, the Casa del Duqe (the Duke's House) and the pretty Santa Ursula Church which is an important historical monument in the area dating back to 1586. It's quite a contrast here inland at Adeje compared to the bustling Costa Adeje holiday resorts.
