The picturesque town of Garachico on the northwest coast of Tenerife attracts visitors with its peaceful atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of tourist resorts. It has a lovely small historic center with a maze of narrow streets and stone houses painted in ochre colors with wooden shutters. Most of the architectural monuments date back to the 16th and 17th centuries. In 1994, the historic center of Garachico was declared a Cultural Heritage site in the Historic Complex category. It also received the Gold Medal for Fine Arts. The town has around 5,000 permanent residents.

The weather is pleasant and sunny year-round, and you’ll find plenty of options for both an active holiday and peaceful relaxation.

Puerto de la Cruz is a coastal city in the north of Tenerife that has a completely different atmosphere than the sunny resorts in the south of the island. The northern coast is greener, fresher, and feels subtropical thanks to more frequent rainfall. This is where you’ll find palm trees, botanical gardens, parks, and streets full of flowers, which give the city a calm and pleasantly ordinary character. Puerto de la Cruz isn’t about giant resorts and endless white sand beaches, but rather about a slow pace, authentic city life, and proximity to nature.
