The population of the Canary Islands have had times of much emigration, due to the lack of opportunities of yesteryear in the archipelago. In Garachico, a monument was built in honor of those people who left the island in search of better opportunities or with the intention of leaving to go back and start their own businesses. In 1990 the call was inaugurated as Mirador el Emigrante to honor the people who left the island with the intention of having a better job and better future prospects. The initiative comes from the Chicharros Mensajeros association.

The Mirador El Emigrante is located in the Risco Partido, within the municipality of Garachico and there is a monument in it created by the artist Fernando Ramos, is a human figure made of bronze about two meters high that is on a stone base, also about 2 meters and with a tombstone that refers to the emigration.
