Church of San Agustín: The three-aisled Church of San Agustín is located on the Plaza de la Constitución in the historic center of La Orotava. Built between 1671 and 1694 by order of the Augustinian Order on the remains of the former hermitage of San Roque, it served as the church for the Abbey of Nuestra Señora de Gracia. Its three-part, predominantly Baroque portal is adorned with Corinthian capitals and palm leaves. The bell tower is constructed of black lava stone. Notable features include the coffered ceiling in typical Mudéjar style, the carved wooden altar, and the 17th-century statue of Our Lady of Gracia in the chancel. A beautiful sight, a visit is highly recommended and interesting 👍🏻.

Historic Catholic chapel perched on a steep clifftop with panoramic sea views. Highly recommended 👍🏻. The San Telmo Chapel (Ermita) stands on a rocky promontory at the eastern end of San Telmo Bay in Puerto de la Cruz on the island of Tenerife.
