Candelaria Tenerife

  Related links:
Candelaria's significance stems from its religious connections.
Most importantly - especially for the tourists who flock here by the coach load - is the Basilica and the Black Madonna. The shady streets and squares exude a quiet dignity and are brimming with historical artefacts and architecture. In particular the renowned Italian sculptor Antonio Canova's El Triunfo de la Candelaria (Triumph of the Virgin of Candelaria) creates much interest in its central location overseeing the town's main plaza.

I visited Candelaria as part of an island tour and found the village lovely. The church is beautifull full of marvelous paintings and of course the black madonna, the statues on the square outside the church are marvelous and the whole typically spanish (not touristy) village is well worth a visit.Comments...

Candelaria is a town i found charming with its old village, typical houses, the church with its black madonna and the plaza facing the beach. Street cafe´s endless choice of restaurants of different nationalities, and more than anything no mass tourism, i came to tenerife to see the real tenerife, no british pubs etc.

Candelaria is a great place to go on a trip to. A day may be too long because there isn't a much to do as there is in a place like Puerto de la Cruz or Santa Cruz, but definately worth a visit.
