The history of Tenerife was written here | La Orotava and Garachico

La Orotava and Garachico are two very important cities in the Canary islands and a lot of the history of Tenerife was written here.
La Orotava was the last city to fall to the spanish conquerors in the time when the guanches inhabited this land and Garachico was the main port of Tenerife before a volcano eruption changed its fate.
Tenerife has much more to offer than the beaches and the resorts in the south and if you care to look further, you can get yourself emerged in the history and culture by travelling to the North of Tenerife where you can admire a lot of the colonial architecture just by strolling around the city centers of La Orotava and La Laguna.
Strolling through these cities, you can admire the beautiful wooden balconies, the baroque and andalusian architecture of the churches and taste the local cuisine in a traditional guachinche.

I hope this video will help you understand better the culture and the history of Tenerife and convince you to come explore it for yourself.
