When I was little boy I remember from many special visits, that of Cenobio of Valeron, and it was an image that made me think how they lived the canaries in the past and what they did to survive and be better people.
The Cenobio is within an archaeological park in the town of Guia, Gran Canaria, it is a communal barn built and used by the natives of the island next to the painted cave Galdar form one of the most emblematic sites island.
Once there, the image that most surprised me were the multitudes of caves that were there. I remember the guide explained to us that every cave belonged to other Aboriginal families, they identified their caves by means of symbols canaries. The material on which were engraved these symbols, ie, the gate material was not clear, although it is thought could be done with stone slabs, or clothing.
According to the books, the name of the monastery is due to the romantic belief that there lived a celibate priestess harimaguada calls, which would stay with the young noble class to her wedding. Besides the de Valeron was Cenobio Heritage Site in 1978.
Just to say that if the first image that there was little even contemplated when I have it in my head, it is very possible that if you visit this place you end up going, because it is filled with a certain mysticism that attracts you.
