What to see in Adeje
Beach and sun in the south-west
Here are the 31 places in Adeje that we have on record, with how long each one takes, the bus that stops nearby and what to know before you go; and below, 12 places to eat. If you would rather have it all put together into one day, with lunch and the way back, that is what Naira does.
