This town is worth spending a few hours in it. The richest city of the 16th-17th centuries, then the streets were paved with marble. Everything was changed by the eruption of the Trevejo volcano in the early 18th century... The lava was moving towards the city for more than 10 days and this allowed us to avoid casualties... Take swimming accessories with you and take a dip in the natural pools formed by lava (in the absence of ocean waves) . Eat dessert at a local cafe (see the section "Gastronomy"), take a walk through the streets, have a cocktail at the Great Small Hotels "San Roque". The best time to arrive is at 10.00 or after 16.00

The former main port of the island. The village was covered by lanva in 1706 by the eruption of a volcano. It is a magic place full of convents, churches, museums and the spirit of long gone days. The locals gather in the main square to have a coffee and see the hours go by. The rocky swimming pools excavated in the lava rocks of El Caletón offer crystal clear waters where to have a swim. The village has multiple restaurants where to eat fish and also a variety of international foods.

Garachico lies in the north-east of Tenerife in the region of Icod-Daute-Isla Baja, covering 29.28 km2 (11.3 sq miles). At least half of that area is covered with Canarian pine trees, volcanic scenery and an ancient cliff that separates the historic quarter from the hills. Garachico has a wealth of architectural heritage from the 16th and 17th century which has been kept in wonderful condition, leading it to be declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1994. It was also granted the status of "Villa" (which is roughly equivalent to the British status of Borough) and Port by King Alfonso XIII in 1916. On the coast of the municipality there are several vast estates with banana groves, whilst the farmland on the hillsides was mainly used to supply the families who farmed it. The town also has a recently built marina by the historic quarter, as well as a series of beaches made of pebbles and black sand, and various cliff faces. Special mention should be made of the natural swimming pools of El Caletón, one of the most popular bathing areas, as well as the impressive rock formation rising from the sea in front of them. After the conquest of Tenerife, Garachico became the main fishing and trade port on the Island until it was destroyed by the volcanic eruption. This golden age drew many highly influential families to settle here, which is apparent from the wealthy layout of its streets and buildings. Info taken from webtenerife
