Arico - yet another picturesque Tenerife villageLike so many placenames in Tenerife, Arico is both a village and a municipal region, this time found in the southeast of the island. Photo: RHaworth
Consisting mainly of a collection of whitewashed houses and narrow streets, the village can seem strangely deserted and quiet, but is one of those out-of-the-way, timeless places that you can find in Tenerife, if you look hard enough.

Tasquita El Pimentón is the only restaurant in the village, so it's just as well that it's an excellent one. It serves up superb Canarian cuisine in a charming rustic setting. It's open from 1pm till 10pm, Wednesdays to Sundays. contact details: Telephone: (+34) 922 768486
First of all, as you enter the village, there's a viewpoint, with a vista to take your breath away. Check out the pretty, whitewalled church (pictured above). Inside, you'll be able to see a valuable sculpture, La Virgin de Tajo y Niño - the Madonna and Child - a Gothic work of art dating from the 16th century.
