REAL SANTUARIO INSULAR DE LAS NIEVES |
The sculpture group of El Calvario of the XVI century stands out in this sanctuary, which comes from a workshop in Anver. Altarpieces, paintings, jewels, crystal lamps from La Granja, along with the magnificent and splendid locker of the Virgin, turn this temple into a true Insular Museum of Sacred Art. Every 5 years the image of the Virgin of Las Nieves descends from its sanctuary to the church of El Salvador, during the well-known “bajada de la Virgen (descent of the Virgin)”, traditional celebration that is one of the main tourist attractions of the island.
