Another place you should visit when in Tenerif is the village of Cancelaria (just a few miles south from the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerif). In the center of the location you'll find the plaza where is located the Church of Cancelaria (in Spanish, La Basílica de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria).
The Church is magnificent. Above is a photo of the main entry and bellow one detailed view from the beautiful altar you can find inside.
Another thing to see, again in the main plaza, are the nine bronze statues dedicated to the Guanches Kings (prior to the Spanish, the old inhabitants of the island).
One extra word of advice for the traffic to get there, since it's very close to the capital, try to avoid the rush hour...
