In the geographical centre of Gran Canaria sits a town which in turn is the centre of attention for visitors, both local and foreign, who come in to see the Basilica of the Virgen del Pino, the patron saint of the island. Thanks to this, the historical town centre has become an attractive spot to come to on a Sunday, for many reasons. There is a massive movement of people, nearly every weekend, who come to the area around the temple, to stroll through the open air market which sets up on the cobbled streets all around.
