Pyramids of Guimar

Piramides de Güímar, Pyramids of Güímar
Spain, Tenerife
The Pyramids of Guimar are six stepped pyramids located in the city of Guimar on the southeast coast of Tenerife. According to scientists, these structures were piled up by local farmers, who, when plowing the land, have a habit of stacking the found stones at the borders of the fields. This was a common practice in the Canary Islands, especially in the second half of the 19th century. According to locals and according to old images, such pyramids existed in many places on the island, but were demolished due to their perceived uselessness and were used as a source of cheap building material. There were nine pyramids directly in Guimar, of which only six have survived.

Having read about the pyramids, which reminded Heyerdahl of the pyramids of Peru and Mexico, it was decided to definitely visit this wonderful place. But not impressed ...Yes, there are pyramids, but they are somehow small and not as grandiose as we thought they would be. Yes, the place is good, you walk like in a park, quiet, calm, there are very few visitors. If unexpectedly you are not far away, you can go in, but I don’t think it’s worth going specially.
