NATURAL POOLS OF TENERIFE

The natural pools of El Caletón is a bathing area, made up of several pools of natural origin, located in the municipality of Garachico on the island of Tenerife.

Next to the pools is the Castillo de San Miguel.

Garachico is a town with great charm that belongs to the north of Tenerife.

The pools originated from the lava from the eruption of the Trevejo volcano in 1706.

When the lava came into contact with the sea water, it solidified, giving rise to these capricious volcanic forms that are so beautiful in El Caletón.
