Teguise:

 Teguise, the capital of Lanzarote up to 1852, has become one of the most important cultural and tourist centres on the island. Its streets with palaces, convents and squares preserve the unmistakable flavour of the passage of the centuries and narrate a thousand and one stories. Skirmishes bwetween Moors and Christians and filibuster attacks, among other events, marked the history of this splendid town. Teguise is located in the centrer of the island, 10 Km. from the coast and about 220 m. above sea level. In 1418, Maciot de Bethencourt first demarcated the town's boundaries making Teguise the first urban centre in the Canary Islands. Its domestic architecture can still be seen in the beautifully restored palaces and stately homes such as the Spínola Palace. Among the religious buildings are Ntra. Sra. de Guadalupe church and the convents of St. Domingo and San Francisco. And on top of Guanapay volcano sits the old castle of Santa Bárbara. In the 1980´s Teguise was declared a combined architecturally historic-artistic centre as one of the oldest and most beautiful villages in the Canaries and is considered by both locals and visitors as a living museum. Moreover, la Villa de Teguise is one of the main cultural and tourist centres on the island. One of its most popular events is the Mercadillo. Teguise offers its visitors the opportunity to shop for gifts in the many crafts shops and bazaars. Besides, every Sunday morning, the entire village turns into a grand open air market where shoppers can browse among the stalls of wares from artifacts to home made bread, all animated by groups of folk dancers and singers in native costume.
