Quesería Esencia Canaria
Garachico
Located in the charming Plaza de Garachico is Quesería Esencia Canaria, a young and dynamic shop founded in 2023 that has distinguished itself with its commitment to artisanal quality. Although it doesn't have a history of decades, its modern and friendly approach sets it apart: it focuses on goat and sheep cheeses made on the island, with a variety of textures and flavors designed for the most demanding palates.
Beyond the usual excellence of its products, one of Esencia Canaria's most valuable elements is its customer service. They have designed the shop to be inclusive and accessible for all: unisex restrooms, safe service for transgender people, and friendly policies for the LGBTQ+ community. They also facilitate the customer experience with modern payment methods—card and mobile via NFC—in-store pickup, and the option of same-day delivery.
The result is a place that manages to combine local authenticity with a contemporary sensibility that makes it welcoming to islanders and visitors alike. Its average review score is 5/5, reflecting a service that surprises with its warmth and professionalism, without sacrificing the artisanal flavor of the cheeses. A stop here means enjoying an authentic Canarian product, served from a fresh perspective and with a social conscience.

Charco de Los Frailes
Charco de Los Frailes, on the Garachico coast, is an almost secret volcanic haven where the sea forms crystal-clear pools between dark rocks. It's a wild, quiet, and deeply natural place, ideal for unwinding, observing the landscape, and feeling the force of the Atlantic without the crowds. Its beauty lies in its purity: no services, no artifice, just the sound of the sea and the wind.

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.
