El Sabinar — twisted juniper trees

<p>Protected area in La Dehesa (far west). Ancient Canary Island junipers (Juniperus cedrus) — some over 1,000 years old, twisted into extraordinary horizontal shapes by relentless trade winds. Most famous El Sabinar nearly horizontal, trunk corkscrew. 1km walking loop through grove. Free. Best light: late afternoon. Do NOT climb or leave path — extremely fragile, thin soil. UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Combine with Faro de Orchilla (20 min further).</p>
