What to see and do in Guía de Isora

Guía de Isora
Village
A municipality in southwestern Tenerife belonging in Guanche times to the menceyato of Adeje. After the conquest, settlers from La Gomera moved into the area, whose development was tied to the finding of an image of the Virgin and to the hermitage of Nuestra Señora de Guía, raised to parish status in 1605. By royal decree of 27 June 1916 the municipality officially adopted the name 'Guía de Isora'.
