On foot, directly from the casa canarina, are leading hiking trails up to the mountains.
2 - 4 minutes on foot, lies the Atlantic Ocean, the small sandy beach and the bathing area 'El Caletón'
- which was created by a volcanic eruption 320 years ago -, a park - with an old wine press and the
former port gate 'Puerta de Tierra' from the 16th century, near by a small square with fountain.
La plaza chica.
4 - 10 minutes walk to the largest Plaza of Garachico, "La Glorieta", with its historic buildings
and churches, various shops for food of all kinds, flowers, jewellery, handicrafts, craft supplies,
leather and pottery, sports equipment, mountain bike rent-out, clothing, etc., also many good
restaurants and bars, cafes, bakeries, ice cream parlours, two pharmacies, the Medical Center,
the tiled outdoor pool, the tennis and football field.
10 - 17 minutes on foot, a short walk along the coast, takes you to the chapel 'San Roque'
and the sports harbour from 2012.
Everything that is further away, but definitely worth seeing, such as pretty, bigger and smaller
Villages, the Cañadas del Teide, the Anaga- and the Teno mountains are best reached by car.
But the bus connections from Garachico are not bad either. In 1 or 2-hour intervals, there
are two buses that go everywhere - via connections in Icod de los Vinos or Puerto de la Cruz.
