The ancient laurel trees in Fanal Forest, with their gnarled trunks and moss-draped branches, stand like living sculptures in the landscape. Especially in fog, a slightly mystical atmosphere prevails, where every step feels a bit like stepping into a fairytale world. Perfect for a quiet photo break and simply wandering among the giant trees.

Fanal Laurisilva Forest

Highlight • Forest

The ancient laurel trees of Fanal are a very special highlight. These trees have grown in incredible twists, loops and twists over hundreds of years and are particularly enchanting when the emerging trade wind clouds soften them and wrap them in cotton wool.
