Discover Tejeda, a mountain town over 1,000m high, overlooking the rugged volcanic ranges of Gran Canaria.
A adventurous urban experience in Canary Islands, moving through the scene as if you are walking it yourself, running 3 min in immersive VR180.
Canary Islands is home to Tenerife and Mount Teide. Every experience here is filmed on location in resolutions up to 16K.
Watch natively on Apple Vision Pro, or in the browser on Meta Quest, Pico, and Samsung Galaxy XR.
What to expect
The camera travels through the scene for the full 3 min, so the view opens and changes around you rather than waiting for you to look. Give yourself a moment to settle before you start turning your head.
It is filmed in stereoscopic VR180, which means depth is real: near things sit close, far things stay far, and the street reads at proper scale instead of flattening onto a screen. Look up, look to the edges of the frame, and take your time. There is nothing to steer and nothing to learn.
We tag this one adventurous, and it sits in Canary Islands alongside the rest of what we have filmed there. It is included with a subscription.
Tejeda, Gran Canaria, in VR180
Tejeda sits above 1,000 metres in the middle of Gran Canaria, inside the vast eroded basin that takes up the centre of the island. It is a small place of whitewashed houses and terracotta roofs on a shelf of rock, and it appears on the list of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Around it the ground falls away into volcanic ridges and terraced slopes, with Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga standing clear of the ranges nearby. Miguel de Unamuno described this interior as a petrified storm, which stays the best short description anyone has managed. Almond trees fill the terraces and blossom in late winter, and the island coast, an hour of switchbacks below, feels like a different country.
We filmed it as a journey with the camera moving, a little over three minutes through the village and its outlooks rather than a single fixed view. We tag it Adventurous. The view opens and changes around you as the camera travels, so give yourself a moment to settle before you start turning your head.
A mountain village is a stack of surfaces at different distances: a wall at two metres, a rooftop at twenty, a ridge at two kilometres. On a screen those flatten into one image. In stereoscopic VR180 they separate out properly, which is what makes standing in a street on the edge of a caldera feel like standing somewhere rather than looking at something.
