EXPLORING GRAN CANARIA: Tour of historic center of TEROR (Spain)
SUBSCRIBE: - A walking tour of Teror, Gran Canaria, Spain. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. Gran Canaria is one of Spain’s Canary Islands, off northwestern Africa. It's known for the white-sand beaches stretching along its southern coast, from happening Playa del Inglés and Puerto Rico to quieter, family-oriented Puerto de Mogán and San Agustín. The northern capital, Las Palmas, is a popular stop for cruise ships and duty-free shopping, while the island’s interior is rural and mountainous.

Chiesa di Santa Brigida - church in Piazza Farnese, Rome
Walking through la Chiesa di Santa Brigida - the only church on Piazza Farnese, Rome.
A church dedicated to the holy name of the Swedish princess Birgitta, here was the house where St. Bridget lived and died until 1373, and opened as a home for his countrymen.
The church was built in the fourteenth century under Pope Boniface IX that canonized Saint Bridget, and was restored in 1513 . With the advent of Lutheranism, the church was abandoned, until, under Paul III , it was occupied by Olaus Magnus, Bishop of Uppsala. Julius III destined the hospice and the church annex to the converted, who lived there until Pius V .
In the eighteenth century the church was completely rebuilt, in the nave only, with a barrel vault with frescoes by Biagio Puccini .
The church of Santa Brigida is the national church of the Swedes in Rome.
Santa Lucía de Tirajana - Gran Canaria
Santa Lucia de Tirajana is a municipality located in the southeast of the island of Gran Canaria. One of Santa Lucia de Tirajana's remarks are the great amount of palm trees there are in its palm valley.
As it could not be any other way in Gran Canaria, Santa Lucia de Tirajana also has its own church that was built in 1898. I say so because there are usually churches in each town of Gran Canaria.
A very interesting place to visit is Fortaleza Grande and its museum. It is interesting because that was the last standing fortress where aboriginal people who did not want to convert to christianism fought against the Spanish empire. Since they were defeated and forced to christianism most of them suicided at Fortaleza Grande.
As for archaeological places to see, Santa Lucia de Tirajana has some of them. At Fortaleza de Ansite you can see how natives used to bury their people. The constructions are still there and you can see the diggins and stone shapes of their tombs.
Gran Canaria also has one of the top windsurfing spots of the world which is in Santa Lucia de Tirajana which is the beach Pozo Izquierdo. There are waves and wind all over the year and it is a great beach to practice and learn sports related with wind and waves, not just for windsurf but also kitesurf for instance.

Places to see in ( Canary Islands - Spain ) Jardin Canario
Places to see in ( Canary Islands - Spain ) Jardin Canario
Jardín Botánico Canario Viera y Clavijo is the full name of the botanical garden on Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands. Jardín Botánico Canario means Botanical Garden of the Canaries, while the additional words Viera y Clavijo honor the pioneering Spanish cleric and scholar José Viera y Clavijo (1731–1813), who attempted to found a botanical garden in the Canary Islands in the late eighteenth century.
The Botanical Garden Viera y Clavijo is located in the northeast of Gran Canaria, in Tafira Alta, approximately 7 kilometers southwest of the capital city Las Palmas. Thus it is located inland from Las Palmas, a few kilometers away from Santa Brígida.
Establishing this botanical garden was the life work of the Swedish-Spanish botanist Erik Ragnar Svensson (1910–1973), who devoted many years to searching for the optimal site, one that could successfully accommodate as many as possible of the highly diverse plant species of the Canary Islands. He finally settled on a steep slope of the Barranco de Guiniguada in the vicinity of Tafira Alta, featuring a waterfall and shallow caves in the cliff face. Work on laying out the garden began in 1952, and the Jardín Botánico Canario Viera y Clavijo was officially opened in 1959. Svensson served as its first director. Following his death in a traffic accident in 1973, David Bramwell was appointed his successor in 1974.
The garden comprises approximately 27 acres (10 hectares), on which approximately 500 plant species endemic to the Canary Islands are cultivated. Important divisions are the Garden of the Islands (Jardín de las Islas), the Garden of Cacti and Succulents (Jardín de Cactus y Suculentas), where approximately 10,000 cultivars of succulents are on display, the Macaronesian Ornamental Garden (Jardín Macaronésico Ornamental), and the “Hidden Garden” (El Jardín Escondido) with greenhouse. Also worthy of mention are the pinetum (El Pínar) and the Laurel-leaved Forests (Bosque de Laurísílva), featuring trees which once covered most of Macaronesia prior to Spanish settlement. At the Fountain of the Wisemen (La Fuente de Los Sabios), botanists who discovered and described the flora of the Canary Islands are honored.
In 1983, the garden established a seed bank for the roughly 400 tree species endemic to the Canaries and other Macaronesian islands. A germplasm bank was subsequently established as well. A great number of species have been identified and described by botanists associated with the garden over the past several years, and the garden contributes to species preservation programs through its research work. Its facilities include a library, a herbarium, and laboratories, and it publishes the journal Botánica Macaronésica.
