WHY NOW
An autumn month that can still feel like spring.
The traditional Romería de La Vega takes place in La Vega, Icod de los Vinos, on 18 October 2026. With typical highs near 26°C and lows around 20°C, the greener north is attractive for coast, historic towns and hiking.
Why October in North Tenerife?
After the hotter summer months, October becomes more comfortable for active trips. The official tourist board identifies October and November as good months for hiking and rural tourism. Trade winds and greater humidity make the north greener and very different from the drier southern coast.
Romería de La Vega on 18 October
Icod de los Vinos celebrates its traditional Romería de La Vega on 18 October, honouring Nuestra Señora del Rosario and San Nicolás. It is a chance to discover northern Tenerife through local customs as well as scenery.
Anaga, Icod and Puerto de la Cruz
Combine laurel forests and hiking in the Anaga Mountains with the historic towns of La Laguna and Icod de los Vinos, and the coast near Puerto de la Cruz or Garachico. Weather can change sharply with altitude, even in a single day.
- Check local weather and trail updates before hiking.
- Pack a light rain or wind jacket despite the warm coastline.
- Keep 18 October free for Icod de los Vinos if local festivals interest you.

Often the most balanced month: warm sea, less heat and better windows for hiking again. Rain is possible. See the green north as a destination in its own right, not merely a bad-weather option.
