One of those wow moments on the Freebird jeep safari, comes when you get the first glimpse of the ancient fishing village of Garachico, up on the north west coast. One of several volcanoes that has hit the village over the years, spat a huge lump of rock into the sea just off the shore.
The iconic rock, tight streets and Canarian balconies are constant reminders of it’s historic past, but what are those white sculpted doorways standing on the quayside? 
The very modern answer is, they are marble works of art made by Japans internationally known sculptor, Kan Yasuda. Installed in 2002, they are called Tensei Tenmoku and refer to the large number of emmigrants that left Tenerife for South America over the past 200 years. It certainly adds another dimension to this quaint old former capital city, but then Tenerife is an island of contrasts, as you will find when you enjoy the jeep tour.
