What to see and do in Santiago del Teide

Santiago del Teide
Village
A municipality in southwestern Tenerife belonging in Guanche times to the menceyato of Adeje. In 1663 it was established as a lordship under Fernando del Hoyo y Solórzano, and its parish of San Fernando was created in 1679. It became a municipality in 1812; until the 1916 reform it was called 'Valle de Santiago', a name changed to avoid confusion with a municipality of the same name on La Gomera. On 5 October 2004 'histórica' was added to its title of villa.
