Religious, Spiritual sights in Tenerife

  1. Santuario del Cristo

    At the northern end of the old quarter, the Santuario del Cristo contains a blackened wooden sculpture of Christ - the most venerated crucifix on the island. Be as respectful as possible inside, as most of the people here are praying, not sightseeing.
