High steep cliffs build the image of the coastline in the north of Tenerife. It is here that we find the pretty and well cared-for small village of El Sauzal with its nice plaza and a lot of flowers. On top of the cliffs there are various attractive Miradores (view points). A special attraction in El Sauzal is the wine museum. Just the building in itself is worth a visit: a former farm-house from the 17th century with an old winepress in the inner courtyard. In the different exposition rooms the history of wine farming on Tenerife is explained clearly. It goes without saying that you can also try some of the local wines or even buy your favourite wine on the spot. But El Sauzal offers a lot more, like e.g. the pottery of Manuel. He is fast like the wind turning the clay on his potter's wheel, making commercial ceramics like plates, cups, vases, pots etc. In the village you find many supermarkets and restaurants. We would like to recommend two very nice restaurants near the house.
