Teror is a small town on Gran Canaria famous for its "Virgin in the Pines" legend. According to the story, the Virgin was found in a pine tree in the forest during the 15th century. The Basilica de la Virgen del Pino was built in the town square.
Inside the church the Virgin is illuminated in an ornate altarpiece. Upstairs there is a display of all of the outfits and gifts that have been given to the Virgin.
The Plaza Nuestra Senora del Pino and Calle Real are lined with picturesque houses.
