Before heading out into the trails that wind through Tijarafe, it's worth stopping at the Church of Nuestra Señora de La Candelaria, a building erected between the 17th and 18th centuries that stands at the heart of this La Palma municipality. This temple, declared a Site of Cultural Interest, represents not only a heritage of great architectural value, but also a meeting point between history, faith and local tradition.

Inside, a Flemish carving from the 16th century is preserved, documented since 1530, which gives this space a special aura. Its central altarpiece, although occasionally covered, is part of an artistic ensemble that has witnessed centuries of devotion and deep roots in the area. The exterior, with its sober and elegant lines, invites those passing through to take a pause before continuing their journey.

Accessible 24 hours a day, the church allows hikers and visitors to find a quiet refuge at any time. Its central location in Tijarafe makes it an ideal reference point for those exploring the area, combining nature and culture in the same route around La Palma island.
