We’re going on holiday in/to El Guincho, in the town of Garachico, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful in Tenerife. Do you fancy it?

El Guincho is a picturesque neighbourhood in the municipality of Garachico in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Their traditional cottages make their way through lush native plant life against the backdrop of the vast Atlantic Ocean. Discover all we have to offer you with our cheap trips to El Guincho.

With an average annual temperature of 17.6 degrees and maximum temperatures of over 25 degrees from July to October, any time of year is right for enjoying the El Guincho Pond. Although accessing this small cove is difficult, it is definitely worth it. It is located in a quiet area and is perfect for spending your entire day. Of course, do not forget to wear booties, since the cove is made of stones and depending on your footwear it can be a bit slippery.

Another of the neighbourhood’s most popular attractions is the El Guincho Lookout, where you can appreciate a panoramic view of the entire municipality. You can also see the famous islet known as El Roque, with its 12 acres, and the Garachico Marina. Can you think of a more idyllic plan than admiring the sunset in the company of your choosing?

In the religious district of El Guincho, we can highlight the Ermita de Consolación, a hermitage erected in 1578 on land belonging to the De Ponte merchant lineage, who converted the temple into a family mausoleum. Complete one of the holiday packages in El Guincho with a visit to the church Iglesia del Corazón de Jesús, the most recent religious building in Garachico.

The closest airport to El Guincho is Tenerife Norte Airport, although you can also fly to Tenerife Sur Airport if the connection from your home city is more convenient. Once at the airport, you will have to take a bus to the La Laguna bus interchange and then another to your destination. Book your flight plus hotel to El Guincho now and enjoy a fantastic and personalised holiday.

"Excellent base for exploring the area, can’t fault it really, the pool is lovely and very clean. The only thing we didn’t enjoy particularly were the breakfasts, just not executed well enough and not enough choice, so I wouldn’t bother with the food if I came again, I would just have a room ."
