Centro de Visitantes Camino del Barranco de Masca
The Centro de Visitantes de Masca, the visitor centre of the hamlet, stands close to the plaza of La Piedra and holds the information on the village and on the Parque Rural de Teno. It is also the gateway to the camino del barranco de Masca: the access check is carried out here, bookings and documents are verified, and staff lend out the helmet that is returned at the end of the route.

The Centro de Visitantes de Masca stands in the hamlet, very close to the plaza of La Piedra, with its large Indian laurel and its eighteenth century chapel. It brings together the information on the four nuclei of the caserío and on the Parque Rural de Teno, a protected natural area within the Red Natura 2000 network.
The centre is also the starting point of the camino del barranco de Masca and the place where the access check is carried out, at least thirty minutes before the booked start. Staff verify the receipt for the path, the proof of the sea transfer and of the collective transport, identity documents and equipment, and lend out the helmet, which is returned at the end of the route. If the landing stage closes because of rough seas, walkers return on foot to this same centre.

Virgin of Candelaria, patron saint of the Canary Islands: the story, the fiesta and the pilgrim road
Nine bronze figures on a square by the sea, a white basilica behind them. That is the top layer. Underneath there is a cave, a six-hundred-year-old story written down two centuries later, and a statue that no longer exists. What we know for certain, and what we do not.
