Canico is split into two parts, the traditional old town and the newer resort area. The older part has a delightful 18th century church and tranquil main square whilst the newer resort provides the hotels, bars, restaurants and some lovely shops. It is peaceful and classy resort and a wonderful starting point for trips around the island – ideally on foot! The crystal clear waters on this coastal stretch around Garajau are perfect for scuba diving and there is a fantastic golf course just outside Canico.
