Mirador El Guincho
A small coastal spot in the municipality of Garachico, on the northern side of Tenerife. On one side the view opens over Garachico and its rugged coast, with the outline of the Roque in the foreground, the cliff of El Guincho and the sport and fishing harbour; on the other it settles on abandoned terraces that recall the crops once grown in the area. There is parking, a bus stop, adapted access and an interpretive table.
Mirador de El Guincho looks out over the northern shore of Tenerife, within the municipality of Garachico. On one side a wide panorama of Garachico and its rugged coastline unfolds: the outline of the Roque stands in the foreground, and behind it the cliff of El Guincho and the new sport and fishing harbour can be made out. On the other side the view settles on high terraces, long abandoned, that recall the crops once grown here, so that a single spot brings together the seascape and the trace of farming work.
The site itself is a small coastal corner, equipped for a comfortable stop: it has parking and a bus stop, and its access is adapted for people with reduced mobility. An interpretive table helps to place what can be seen from the railing and to identify the features of the landscape that opens out on either side.
