Arrived in Garachico to find the Tourist Info shut - so wandered the streets in search of lodgings. After dismissing the only 3 hotels in town as rather expensive we booked into a one star hostel that was interesting to say the least.
With the money we saved on this one I have now booked us into one of the others for the next two nights. Geoff thought this one was fine - we had our own patio - ie:- the roof,
but the 55yd.trek to the loo down a flight of outside concrete stairs was its main drawback. Explored the town - an old port destroyed by a lava flow in the 18th century. The main gate into the port is now in the middle of town rather down at the waters edge where it was originally before the volcano obliterated the town.
We then walked up the coast a bit - and I saw my first cactus crop.
