Art Deco Design in Tenerife

Amongst the plethora of architecture dating back to Garachico's heyday in the late 15th to early 18th Centuries, when it was the island's principal port, before the 1706 eruption filled it's deep harbour, there are also a number of impressive Art Deco buildings and details, as indeed, one will also find in Santa Cruz.
This building, the cafeteria Proa Norte in Garachico, really needs no translation, appearing, as so many Art Deco buildings do, like the prow of a ship - or better a liner from those golden days of sea travel. It aptly stands at the end of the "new" land that was created when that deep water harbour was filled in.
