Welcome

On the eastern slope of La Isla Bonita, Villa de Mazo invites you to discover a place where volcanic nature, tradition, and creativity intertwine. From the Cumbre Vieja mountain range to the Atlantic Ocean, this municipality unfolds in a mosaic of landscapes, villages, and trails that hold ancestral stories and unique experiences.

Villa de Mazo is a land of artisans and farmers, where vineyards and mid-altitude crops, crafts, and traditional festivals are part of the soul of its people. Its scattered neighborhoods retain the charm of the rural, and in its historic center stand architectural gems such as its traditional roads, the parish church of San Blas, and la Casa Roja, home to the Corpus Christi and Embroidery Museum.

The archaeological heritage of Villa de Mazo is a symbol of identity and memory. In the Belmaco Archaeological Park, the first site discovered in the Canary Islands, the rock carvings and caves of the ancient canton of Tigalate reveal the life and beliefs of the Benahoaritas. This legacy unites history, landscape, and culture, becoming a source of pride for the municipality’s heritage value.

That ancestral past finds continuity in the creativity and community spirit of the present, which reach their maximum expression in the Corpus Christi, a Festival of National Tourist Interest. Each year, the streets of the historic center are transformed into an immense tapestry of color, with arches, corridors, and carpets made with flowers, seeds, and natural materials. More than a religious celebration, the Corpus Christi of Villa de Mazo is a living example of art, neighborhood cooperation, and the pride of a people who turn their history and faith into ephemeral beauty.

Added to this cultural richness is the Danza del Borrachito Fogatero, an event framed in the Festivals of Ntra. Sra. de Los Dolores, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, a traditional celebration of Villa de Mazo in which the artisan figure of the “borrachito” comes to life between fire and music. Deeply rooted in the community, it combines creativity and symbolism, and is one of the most anticipated events by residents and visitors.

Villa de Mazo, a Magical Town of Spain, is a place where nature, history, and creativity coexist in an environment that breathes authenticity. It is tradition that endures, hospitality that welcomes, and a sustainable future that opens with hope to the traveler.
