Garachico was one of the most important ports of Tenerife. The eruption on 5 May 1706 from the Trevejo rift zone filled the former bay with lava.
The town was partially destroyed. It was not completely destroyed as some tour guides claim. The loss of the port took away its former commercial role.
Note: Natural pools in volcanic rocks are now at the quay. They are closed during high waves.
