Attractions

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 del Emigrante

A viewpoint on the Garachico coast built around the monument to the Canary emigrant, at the Risco Partido. The council's tourism site dates its inauguration to 3 August 1990 and credits the sculptor and poet Fernando García Ramos: a two metre bronze human figure standing on a stone base of the same height, with a plaque alluding to emigration.

Parque de la Puerta de Tierra

A leafy park of exotic species on the Plaza de Juan González de la Torre in Garachico, laid out around the gateway known as the Puerta de Tierra. The municipal tourism site presents it as one of the most picturesque corners of the town: the gate is what remains of the major port that began in the sixteenth century, and everyone and everything entering or leaving Garachico once had to pass through it.

Mirador de Garachico

Panoramic balcony over the town of Garachico and its islet on the north coast.

El Caletón (Garachico)

Natural pools born from the 1706 lava flow, beside the San Miguel castle in Garachico.
