  • From the Mirador (vantage point) Garachico you have a magnificent view of the 5,700 inhabitants counting city Garachico, which was founded in 1496 by Cristóbal de Ponte, a Genoese banker.. <9> <9> The protected natural harbor flourished, many people moved in and the settlement flourished, until in 1706 the lava flow of the Montana de Trebejo volcanic eruption buried the harbor basin.. Then the commercial shipping shifted to Puerto de la Cruz and the inhabitants devoted themselves to agriculture and fishing.. Fortunately, many of the beautiful city palaces and some churches were spared from the volcanic eruption.. <9> <9> Garachico lies on an almost round headland and it presents itself as a white house sea with mostly red tiled roofs.. <9> <9> Off the coast rises the Roque de Garachico.
