The eruption of the Trevejo volcano, also called the eruption of the Arenas Negras volcano, was a volcanic eruption that took place from 5 to 14 May 1706, about 8 km (5.0 mi) kilometers south of the Garachico in the north of the island of Tenerife (Spain). The eruption destroyed the old port of Garachico (the most important in Tenerife at the time) and ended the golden period of the town.
