In this map you will find information about restaurants, supermarkets and beaches. Some guachinches are also listed (typical Canarian bodegas where you can eat and drink local wine for cheap). The Guachinches were born as dining rooms in the north of Tenerife from 1950, when some winemakers decided to sell the wine in their garages. They initially offered only a few typical dishes of the local cuisine that the woman had prepared for the day. The Guachinches are usually hidden in small towns surrounded by vineyards.

Not forgetting the charcos (spectacular natural pools on the coast). If you want to go swimming in Tenerife, there are not only the black sand beaches or the swimming pools or water parks. Here the natural swimming pools are visited by the locals above average. The Charcos are natural saltwater pools. A natural phenomenon in the north of the island of Tenerife that has given us the opportunity to bathe among the remains of volcanic lava flows. On the net you can find many pictures of these natural swimming pools which are mostly easily accessible on the whole island. The great thing about it is that there is always fresh water flowing. The natural swimming pools clean themselves by the high and low tide. Take your mask and snorkel with you, the underwater world is colorful and lively. Many crabs, fish, snails, limpets etc can be found in the charcos.

Charcos - Sustainability

"- Never leave any rubbish in the area, including cigarette butts. Leftover food contributes to the reproduction of rodents and feral cats. - Do not throw objects or any waste into the water. - Respect the animals, do not molest them and feed them. Don't use them. If you see an injured animal, you can report it by calling emergency number 112. Do not uproot flowers or plants. - Do not pick up or take with you stones or other natural elements. Modify them not even by piling them up into the notorious "cairns". - Do not use soap in the showers. - Preferably use sunscreen that respects the marine ecosystem. - Try not to disturb the tranquility of the environment with excessive noise (loud music , shouting...) or noisy activities such as ball games."
