28. Garachico, Tenerife: Volcanic Pools and Resilience

Once Tenerife's main port, Garachico was partially destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1706. Today, it’s a charming historic town rebuilt alongside the solidified lava flows, offering a calmer Canarian experience. Its main draw is El Caletón, a series of natural swimming pools formed by the lava, providing safe and unique saltwater bathing spots. Wander its quiet cobbled streets, admire traditional Canarian architecture, and enjoy fresh seafood – a peaceful contrast to the island's bustling southern resorts, showcasing resilience and natural beauty.
