Chimiche

Chimiche is an agricultural village on Tenerife that spreads across gentle slopes with fields of tomatoes and potatoes interspersed among traditional Canarian stone houses and narrow streets. The rural layout and building style reflect how farming has shaped the settlement over centuries.

The settlement originated as a farming outpost during Spanish colonization of the Canary Islands and gradually became an established agricultural community. Its development depended on opening new cultivated areas and managing water resources suited to the local climate.

Residents maintain their connection to the land through regular farmers markets where local producers display seasonal crops and share knowledge about traditional growing methods passed down within families.

The TF-636 road connects this village to San Isidro and provides access to multiple hiking trails winding through the surrounding countryside. Wear sturdy shoes and plan walks for early morning hours to avoid the midday heat.

The village is home to El Secreto de Chimiche, a recognized restaurant that prepares Canarian dishes using a traditional wood-fired grill. Visitors often discover this hidden cooking tradition only when they dine there.
