Macizo de Anaga is a mountain range in the northeastern part of the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. The highest point is 1,024 m (Cruz de Taborno). It stretches from the Punta de Anaga in the northeast to Cruz del Carmen in the southwest. Anaga features the mountain peaks of Bichuelo, Anambro, Chinobre, Pico Limante, Cruz de Taborno and Cruz del Carmen. The mountains were formed by a volcanic eruption about 7 to 9 million years ago making it the oldest part of the island. Since 1987 it has been protected as a "natural park", reclassified as "rural park" in 1994.〔(Protected natural areas )〕 Since 2015 it is also Biosphere Reserve and is the place that has the largest number of endemic species in Europe.〔(El macizo de Anaga alberga mayor concentración de endemismos de toda Europa )〕 It is a remote and wild area, characterized by humid forests, including ''laurisilva''. Native plant species include ''Ceropegia dichotoma'', ''Ceropegia fusca'' and ''Echium virescens''. The Macizo de Anaga is also rich in archaeological finds, including the Guanche Mummy of San Andrés. The main villages in the Macizo de Anaga are San Andrés, Taganana and Igueste de San Andrés. A place in the mountains which is called "El Bailadero" is believed to have been a place where witches were practicing witchcraft and dancing around a bonfire. == See also == *Roques de Anaga *Punta de Anaga Lighthouse *Witches of Anaga 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Macizo de Anaga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
