San Juan Bautista is NOT a cathedral
From its style and appearance, it may look more like a cathedral, but it’s not. To be a cathedral, it would have to be the seat of the Bishopric, which is in the Cathedral of Las Palmas. Therefore, San Juan Bautista is NOT a cathedral, but a church.
History of the church of Arucas
In the 15th century there was already a chapel in honour of the prophet San Juan Bautista. With the passing of the centuries and the growth of the town of Arucas, the chapel evolved until it became, in the 17th century, a Renaissance-style parish church with three naves.
On the other hand, at the beginning of the 20th century, the church was demolished and a new, larger one was built. The remodelling work, under the direction of the architect Manuel Vega, took almost 70 years.
Features and architecture of the parish church of Arucas
Together with the basilica of Nuestra Señora del Pino in Teror, the parish church of San Juan Bautista is one of the two most popular churches in Gran Canaria. It’s dedicated to San Juan Bautista, the patron saint of Arucas.
The church of San Juan Bautista is of neo-Gothic architecture, made of dark stone from the stonework of Arucas, with gigantic towers, pointed arches and a spectacular façade. It’s also an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC). It incorporates elements from the old church, from the 16th century, such as the Crucified Christ. Another element that stands out are its stained-glass windows, donated by different brotherhoods and confraternities or manufactured by the renowned French firm Maumèjean.
The ecclesiastical complex is formed by the two towers of the main façade and the third tower, of greater height, which is the bell tower, built between 1962 and 1977. It was the last element to be added to the church.
Inside, there are Flemish and Andalusian paintings, as well as sculptures from Italy.

It’s a species of <strong>Pinus Canaiensis </strong>that is <strong>more than 500 years old</strong> and is catalogued as one of the <strong>most unique pine trees in the whole of Spain</strong>.</span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;"><strong>Research </strong>carried out between <strong>2007 and 2009</strong> by the <strong>Polytechnic University of Madrid</strong> provided important data, such as the time of <strong>germination</strong>, which occurred during the winter of <strong>1457-1458</strong>.</span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">The <strong>Ayagaures ravine </strong>is also a magnificent place for <strong>hiking</strong>.

Located in a ravine next to Ayaguares, the <strong>Barranco de la Paloma</strong>, this story was born and is still passed down among the locals.</span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Legend has it that, many, many years ago, a wealthy farmer from San Mateo, built a house in the bed of the ravine, lonely, distant and with sad touches. To do so, he took with him some bricklayers who never ended up agreeing on how to build it.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">One day, on a cold, grey afternoon, a somewhat thin man appeared at the door of his house, wearing a black hat and all-black clothes.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">This dark character proposed to finish his house in one day. The peasant agreed, with the only catch being that he had no money to pay him. The good man built it in a day, but the last stone was missing to finish it, and the peasant didn’t pay the sinister man, so he went away and never finished the house.</span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Since then, <strong>every night, near the house, the sound of hammers, people running around and voices can be heard</strong>.

It was the <strong>starting point of the city, in the year 1478</strong>, the foundational neighbourhood where Las Palmas de Gran Canaria later expanded</span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">To lose yourself in its <strong>narrow</strong>, <strong>cobbled streets</strong> is to lose yourself in its history, magic and mysticism.

It sits on a small peninsula, <strong>La Isleta</strong>, and was conceived as a <strong>neighbourhood of fishermen and working class people</strong> who helped to build the neighbourhood.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">What stands out most about La Isleta are its <strong>friendly and smiling people</strong>, its <strong>picturesque houses</strong>, its <strong>narrow and winding streets</strong>, as well as the numerous bars where the hustle and bustle never ceases.</span><br> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">One of its greatest charms is to be found in <strong>El Confital</strong>.
