Garachico & Natural Lava Pools

A beautifully preserved historic town on the north-west coast, almost destroyed by the 1706 Teide eruption. Its spectacular natural lava pools (El Caletón) carved by past lava flows into the sea are among the most extraordinary bathing spots in the Canaries.

Swimming in the natural volcanic pools of El Caletón is magical — warm, calm water surrounded by black rock. The town of Garachico itself is charming, with a lovely promenade and great seafood. Our favourite afternoon of the trip.
