Telesforo Bravo Visitor Centre

Located in a former 17th-century convent, the museum is devoted to the exhibition of arts and crafts from the Canary Islands, as well as from Latin America and the Philippines. The building is worth seeing in its own right.

Considered to be the finest example of Spanish Baroque in the Canary Islands, the current structure was built between 1768 and 1788 on the site of several earlier structures, the earliest dating to the late 15th century. The sculpture in the plaza in front of the church represents an alfombrista, an artist responsible for the volcanic sand 'carpets' created during Corpus Christi celebrations.

Built in 1654, facade has beautifully carved balconies and windows, and there is a lovely interior courtyard with a café that can be visited. There is a gift shop on the first floor, also accessible from the first door up the street.

Facing the 19th-century neoclassical town hall, the square is the focal point of annual festivities including Carnival, Corpus Christi, and Christmas.

The pleasant square with a café is a good viewing platform, with good views as far as Puerto de la Cruz.

The three-storey house was built in the 16th century and is noteworthy for its carved wooden balconies, not only those on the outer facade but especially those inside the courtyard which are also decorated with subtropical hanging plants. The house functions as a museum, and still has its original furniture as well as a wooden wine press in the back of the courtyard. There is also a large souvenir shop on the ground floor which has an especially good selection of traditional embroidery.
