San Bartolomé de Tirajana

The midlands and highlands of San Bartolomé de Tirajana offer rugged landscapes and impressive ravines such as those of Tirajana and Arguineguín, which define the east and west sides of the municipality. Visitors will also be impressed by the Fataga, Los Vicentes, La Data and Chamoriscan ravines, which flow into Maspalomas. In the old part of the village, known as Tunte, stands the Church of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, consecrated in 1922. This church has a basilica floor plan divided into three naves. The High Altarpiece stands out, a work created by the master artist Lino Feo Ramos in 1922. The effigy of San Bartolomé, acquired between 1783 and 1787, sits in the central niche of the altarpiece.

Sustainability

- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
- Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
- Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
- Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
- Respect and look after the area's historic and cultural heritage, along with the different items of public furniture (information panels, railings, seats, lighting, etc.).
