Teror

September 8 is the local festivity celebrating Virgen del Pino (virgin of the pine, patron of the Gran Canaria). Teror has a well preserved old town centre, which is under monument protection. There is a basilica, the quiet Virgin of the Pine Square in front of it, and neatly fronted buildings along the picturesque Calle Real de la Plaza street. After shepherds witnessed a Marian apparition nearby on 8 September 1481, Teror became the most important pilgrimage destination of Gran Canaria, and, as a result, rather prosperous. White houses with wooden balconies, where many of the island’s older families congregated, are typical of the town. Mineral water is an important product of Teror. There's a weekly market (mercadillo) on Sundays. • Illustration — Basilika "Nuestra Señora del Pino" • Illustration — Cupola of the Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pino • Illustration — Townhall • Illustration — Facade, Calle Real de la Plaza • Illustration — Facade, Calle Real de la Plaza • Illustration — Facade, Calle Real de la Plaza • Illustration — Balcony Calle Real de la Plaza 15 • Illustration — Water steps • Illustration — Typically Spanish Teror balcony • Illustration — Main street to Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pino • Illustration — Backside of Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pino • Illustration — Conspicuous corner tavern with balcony • Illustration — Town square in front of Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pino • Illustration — Top of Basilika "Nuestra Señora del Pino" • Illustration — Facade with flower decor
