Cueva de Chinguaro

Monument · Güímar, Tenerife - Valle de Güímar, Santa Cruz de Tenerife

A historic site where, according to legend, the Guanches kept the image of the Virgen de Candelaria, which became a place of pilgrimage after the conquest. The accompanying hermitage collapsed in the 1970s and was restored, completing its first phase in 2007 with a consecration by the diocesan bishop.
