Cuatro Puertas

The archaeological site of Cuatro Puertas is an essential visit for anyone interested in the history of the Canary Islands. The ancient Canarians chose this mountain to build a whole series of constructions: they carved the volcanic tuff, decorated its walls and sculpted, with their rudimentary tools, structures that have survived until today. We invite you to get to know this place by imagining how they lived; drawing the roofs, touching the warm vermilion stone, feeling the shelter of the caves, dodging passageways and cavities.
