Los Silos Geriatric Residence
So, maybe the old folks home of Nuestra Señora de la Luz in Los Silos was not high on your list of tourist attractions and places to visit in Tenerife. (Some of us may be getting towards the age group that would make us suitable as an inmate! :)
Nevertheless, the building, which is currently being renovated is a little jewel with old carved wooden doors, windows and the cutest little Canarian balcony and, sits in a quiet little corner of the back streets of the town. Click here for photo.
If you start or end by the square in Los Silos, you can get a very decent cup of coffee there in the kiosk. Alongside is the town hall, across the road is the former convent and now museum and cultural center and opposite that, the lovely white church that, to me, belongs on the top of wedding cake.
Take one of the paths from the backside of the square. You can climb the hill to overlook the town (easy for all ages).
To find the geriatric residence, just follow the main road from the church in the direction of Garachico. You'll find it at the end of the small Constitución square in a turning to your left, probably no more than 100 yards or so along.
