Port of Garachico
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The old Port of Garachico was the most important on the island of Tenerife between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It was a commercial port with regular exchanges of merchandise to America and Europe.[2] In 1706, the eruption of the Trevejo volcano devastated and destroyed the port and with it the economic activity of the municipality.[2] Afterwards, in 2012, the current port located next to the historic center was inaugurated.[1]
