Isora
What to do in Isora
Isora occupies the western part of Tenerife, sitting within a landscape of picturesque countryside and verdant mountains. Scattered with small towns and villages, the municipality's coast is gilded with beaches, where vacationers can while away the hours catching the rays, swimming, snorkeling, before luxuriating in their beachfront hotel's spa.
The area's star attraction, however, is its historic quarter. Dotted with examples of traditional Canarian architecture, its centerpiece is the 16th-century Church of Nuestra Senora de la Luz, which features a sumptuous collection of altarpieces, statues, and paintings.
