What to see in San Miguel de Abona
The castle and the midlands
Here are the 9 places in San Miguel de Abona 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, 6 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.
