Garachico is a municipality and town on the northern coast of
Tenerife, about 52 km West of the capital
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, 50 km from
Tenerife North Airport and 67 km from
Tenerife South Airport. The town itself nestles below a 500m+ (1500 ft) cliff. Garachico and the surrounding area is arguably the least spoilt coastal area of Tenerife, and is in sharp contrast to areas such as
Playa de las Americas. It is still very Spanish in character, and a Spanish phrasebook is advisable for non-Spanish speaking visitors.
