Garachico
The natural pools of Garachico are one of those places that perfectly combine nature, history and tranquillity. Formed after the eruption of the Trevejo volcano in 1706, the lava that reached the sea created these unique pools where today you can bathe surrounded by volcanic rock and crystalline salt water. The place has something special: the contrast between the black of the rock, the blue of the sea and the white of the foam when the waves break. There are deep areas, others more sheltered and calm, so you can choose depending on whether you feel like swimming, relaxing or just getting your feet wet.
Apart from the bathing, the surroundings make it all the more complete. Garachico has a lot of charm: a small village with cobbled streets, colonial architecture and a leisurely atmosphere that invites you to stroll leisurely. Very close to the swimming pools there are bars and restaurants where you can eat well (the fish here is a safe bet) or have a coffee looking out to sea. It's the perfect place to spend the whole day without the need for long journeys, ideal for disconnecting and enjoying the north of the island.

Ciclismo - Ruta 1
One of the most spectacular cycling routes in northern Tenerife: the circular route that starts in Garachico and climbs toward Erjos, passes through Santiago del Teide, descends the winding Masca ravine, and returns along the coast through Buenavista. Volcanic landscapes, pine forests, hairpin bends, and views of the Atlantic make this demanding route a classic for cyclists seeking both physical challenge and natural beauty.
