Granadilla de Abona is a municipality in the south of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), covering an area of about 155 km². According to the latest official data from 2025, it has a population of 58,752. The population has grown significantly in recent decades, driven by both internal migration within Spain and immigrants from Latin America and other regions.
The municipality extends from the altitudinous center of the island - Mount Guajara (2,718 m, the third-highest mountain on the island, after Teide and Pico Viejo) is situated in this municipality - to the Atlantic Ocean.
Reina Sofía Airport is located in this municipality, as well as the beachside town of El Médano ("The Sand Dune"), where many important windsurfing competitions are held. La Montaña Roja ("The Red Mountain"), a volcanic cone located in El Médano, is a protected natural preserve, along with five other "espacios naturales," which comprise 25% of the municipality's total area. Plans to build an industrial and commercial port in this municipality along a 5-kilometer (3.1 mi) sector along the coast, from Barranco del Río to Montaña Pelada, have been discussed but not implemented, due to concerns about the environmental damage such a development would cause (All objections have been cleared and port goes ahead).
There is a wind farm in this municipality as well.
