About this experience

The activity covers whitewashed sanctuaries like San Ginés in Arrecife and San Miguel in Teguise, each dating from the 16th to 18th centuries. Visitors explore the architectural blend of Canarian vernacular style with fortified elements, including wooden altars and carved stone facades.
