Conjunto Histórico
In Spain, the legal designation ''Conjunto histórico'' (formerly ''Conjunto Histórico-Artístico'' or "Historic-Artistic Grouping") is part of the national system of heritage listing. It is applied to buildings in a given locality. It is typically used to protect complete villages, such as Peñaranda de Duero, or historic quarters of towns such as Avilés. ''Conjunto'' means "group", and as a group listing, the ''Conjunto histórico'' is comparable with the British concept of a Conservation Area. ''Conjunto histórico'' is a sub-category within a broader category of ''Bien de Interés Cultural'', which protects Spain's cultural heritage and is regulated by the country's Ministry of Culture. As well as ''conjuntos históricos'', the category of ''Bien de Interés Cultural'' includes the following sub-categories of non-movable heritage: * '' Jardín histórico'', historic garden (for example the gardens of Aranjuez) * '' Monumento'' * ''Sitio histórico'' (for example the Bulls o ...

Garachico is a municipality and town on the northern coast of Tenerife, about 52 km West of the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife, 50 km from Tenerife North Airport and 67 km from Tenerife South Airport. The town itself nestles below a 500m+ (1500 ft) cliff. The city of Garachico with its port was founded by a Jewish Genoan banker Cristóbal de Ponte after the conquest of Tenerife in 1496. The May 5, 1706 eruption originating from the northwest rift zone was a major event in the town's history. Prior to then, Garachico was an important port exporting Malmsey wine and other local produce.
