Guimar

Guimar—officially Güímar—occupies the lower reaches of the Güímar Valley on Tenerife’s eastern side, in Spain’s Canary Islands. The municipality extends from volcanic slopes towards the Atlantic, with ravines crossing land long used for cultivation. Its best-known cultural site is the Pyramids of Güímar, an ethnographic park centred on six stepped structures built from volcanic stone. Güímar is also associated with the Romería del Socorro, a coastal pilgrimage in which the image of the Virgin of El Socorro is carried between the town and the shore. Here, Tenerife’s volcanic geology, agricultural traditions and religious customs remain closely connected.
