Top Tips for Your Stay in Arona

Visit the city's beautiful church dating from the 18th century: the Iglesia San Antonio Abad. Do not miss the painting of San Antonio Abad, which is more than 300 years old. San Antonio Abad also forms the centrepiece of Aaron's most lively festival, held each January in honour of the saint. During the week-long festival you can see local dances, a long procession that travels through the city and spectacular fireworks displays.

Just behind the church is the start of a hiking trail that leads up to the Rogue del Conde viewpoint. The walk takes about four hours to complete. The mountain peak is about a thousand meters above sea level and from here you have a great view of southern Tenerife and La Gomera.
