Municipality Teguise

Municipality of Teguise is located at Lanzarote island (Canary islands). It is the former island capital (current is Arrecife) and carries the name of the last guanche-king's daughter.

Teguise is one of the oldest settlements on the archipelago, but little is left of its original monumental abundance, as it once was destroyed by pirates.

Anyhow, Teguise conserved much of its ambience of a manorial town, with nice houses  and its dominating castle, Castillo de Santa Barbara.

A highly demanded souvenir are the "Timples" - traditional instruments similar to guitars, which are manufactured here.
