Santuario de la Virgen de las Nieves
The 17th-century Santuario de la Virgen de las Nieves is nestled within the hills surrounded by greenery. This colonial-style structure, a popular pilgrimage spot, houses a spectacular interior with carved ceilings, chandeliers and a three-foot-tall Virgin Mary poised on an ornate altar, the oldest religious statue in the Canary Islands.
