The North Shore is a scenic coastline popular with the surf community, plenty of swimming occasions in some of Europe’s most beautiful beaches. Cotillo is an old fisherman’s village with a hippie vibe.
Betancuria was founded in 1400 as the original capital of the kingdom of the Canary Islands. It’s the oldest Spanish towns on the archipelago and a great example of colonial architecture though the original church was destroyed by Berber pirates.
