The 10 Best Historic Sites in Tenerife, Canary Islands
Tribal Terenife still shows influence from the aboriginal Gaunches people. Visitors clamber to conquer Mount Teide (Spain’s tallest peak) and to stretch out on the sands of Los Gigantes. Squawk hello to the playful parrots of Loro Park, or brave the petrifying drive to beautiful Masca Valley. For a true taste of Terenife, sample fresh farmhouse cheese and local bananas. A piece of delicate calado canario lace makes a special souvenir.

I love this place so much, already visited twice. I especially love the garden filled with fruit trees and seeing the old machines that were used for works with the tomatoes. It's a must see in Adeje, a little trip in history. The guide and the shop keeper are lovely; actually I went a little crazy in the souvenir shop.

Beautiful basilica, albeit only about 80 years old, but the story and history of the statue and its interaction with the Guanches (the original indigenous people of the Canaries) is fascinating. A fine line of modern statues adorns the sea wall.

6. Plaza de Patrona de Canarias

Reviewed By Aziangypsy - Phuket, Thailand
A nice setting for a little history lesson of the people of the island. The statues are Kings of the Tenerife (Guanches) and placed strategically on the sea side beside the Basilica of Candelaria in the large Square of Saint Patron of the Canary Islands. The area is a great place to walk around and take photos. Aside from the Basilica and statues there are plenty of cafes, restaurants, and other shops to visit. Parking is limited around the area as it does get pretty busy. If you're looking to learn a little history of Tenerife, admire the architecture of a Basilica, and grab a bite or a coffee this is a great spot to spend a few hours, for all ages.

The church is built from lava rock and it is really unique. Dark inside but well worth a visit. It was a very peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city.
