Around the historical centre of Los Silos

This majestic town of the Isla Baja region received the name of Los Silos in 1509 as a result of the extensive construction of silos for storing cereals. Raising livestock and farming are its main sources of income.
The town of Los Silos is noted for the abundance and variety of its flora and fauna. It is located right in the middle of the Teno massif and in extraordinarily beautiful surroundings. From the coast to the highest point of the district, we come across some of the most attractive nature parks in Tenerife: Monte del Agua; Interián, which is a site of special scientific interest; the cliffs of the Culata or the pools of Erjos are just some of them.
In this town, there are many ancient routes created by the locals to help the passage of pack animals. Nowadays, nature-lovers and students enjoy these trails, which still preserve their cobblestones. There are three main routes: Las Moradas, the Cuevas Negras and the Talavera.
Los Silos also has a varied heritage that provides visitors with an unforgettable stroll around the charming corners of its historical centre.
Culture and traditions are linked to the daily life of the district. Various festivals take place throughout the year in Los Silos. One of the most important is the popular fiesta of its patron saint, Nuestra Señora de La Luz, in September. Equally attractive are the ones of San Antonio Abad, in the middle of January or the Corpus Christi.
