Teror is a town located on the island of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, Spain. The town is a popular tourist and pilgrimage destination. There is a historic St. Mary of the Pine Tree Basilica from the 18th century (Basilico Nuestra Señora del Pino) – the patron of the island. There is Plaza de Teror square in front of the basilica and it is the center of the town’s life as well as a place where tourists and pilgrims rest. There are typical Canarian tenement houses by the square and their facades are decorated by characteristic wooden balconies with nicely sculpted railings as well as by charming roofs that protect the balconies from hot sun. What is more, sometimes the residents of Teror decorate balconies with flowers, which hang colorfully over the streets.
