Castle sights in Teguise

  1. Castillo de Santa Bárbara

    The Castillo de Santa Bárbara is not only the oldest fort on the Canaries, but the only castle that really looks the part. Perched up on Guanapay peak, with sweeping views across the plains, it was erected in the 16th century by Sancho de Herrera, consequently expanded and then fell into disuse. Since being restored, it houses the modest, yet fascinating Museo del Emigrante Canario, a poignant collection relating to the long history of migration from the islands to Spain's American colonies.
