Masca is a small mountain village located in Buenavista del Norte on a small mountain road.
The village is home to around 150 inhabitants. The village is in the Teno mountains, which
range from 600 to 800 m and extend up to the northwesternmost point of Tenerife.
The village in the 1960s was accessed only by paths and was unaccessible by roads.

High mountains surround the tiny village and there is a small peak near the village centre.
Forests including cypresses and palm trees abound. The rocks and forests and a slope of
about 70° to 75° angle lies westward.
The village was also an area that pirates never attacked. The Atlantic Ocean lies
several kilometres northwest.

The housing designs are two-stories and are built on the mountain slopes and are
very remarkable.

The village has been laid into ashes during the August 2007 wildfires.
