Tenerife's Most Beautiful Historic Towns? | Icod & Garachico 🇪🇸

While many visitors to Tenerife head straight for the beaches and resort towns, the island's northwest is home to some of its most fascinating places. In this video I explore Icod de los Vinos and Garachico, two historic towns that offer a very different side of Tenerife. From the famous 800-year-old Dragon Tree and tropical butterfly house in Icod to the volcanic history, colorful streets and natural pools of Garachico, both towns are well worth a visit. Highlights featured in this video: • El Drago Milenario (Dragon Tree) • Drago Botanical Garden (€5 entrance fee) • Plaza de Andrés de Lorenzo Cáceres • Church of San Marcos (outside) • Mariposario del Drago (Butterfly House, €10 entrance fee) • Casa del Plátano (Banana Museum, €5 entrance fee) • Playa de Garachico • El Caletón Natural Pools • Roque de Garachico • Ermita de San Roque (outside) • Garachico Marina • Plaza de la Libertad • Convent of San Francisco (outside) Located in northern Tenerife, Icod de los Vinos is famous for its ancient Dragon Tree, while nearby Garachico tells the story of a prosperous port town that was transformed forever by the volcanic eruption of 1706. Today both towns are among the most rewarding destinations to visit beyond Tenerife's resort areas. Have you visited Icod de los Vinos or Garachico?
