Cenobio de Valerón
Bedste tid at besøge
Late morning on a weekday for the best light hitting the cliff face and the fewest visitors. Spring and autumn offer comfortable temperatures for the short uphill walk.
Budgettips
Entry costs just €5 for adults with discounts for seniors, students, and children under 12. Combine your visit with a trip to the nearby town of Santa María de Guía for a full day out without spending extra.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Over 300 hulrum blev udhugget i den vulkanske tuf overflade på denne 80 meter høje klint, hvilket danner det største førspanske kornmagasin på De Kanariske Øer. De indfødte canarier opbevarede byg og hvede her og brugte den porøse stens naturlige fugtkontrol til at holde kornet friskt gennem vinteren.
Højdepunkter: Tidlige spanske kolonister forvekslede de hundredvis af hulåbninger med et kloster og kaldte det Cenobio, men lokalbefolkningen vidste, at det var øens gamle fødevarebank. Hvert hulrum blev forseglet med en stenplade og ler, hvilket skabte individuelle siloer, der kunne rumme nok korn til at brødføde hele familier gennem barske sæsoner.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes, the path to the entrance involves loose gravel and a steep incline.
- Arrive right at opening time (10:00 AM) to have the wooden walkways almost to yourself.
- Bring binoculars or a zoom lens to spot the smaller cavities high up that you can't see from the walkway.
- Stop by the small on-site museum first, it explains the ingenious ventilation system that kept grain dry inside the rock.
