Ingenio’s architecture is a mix of traditional Canarian style and modern influences. The town’s historic center is home to charming narrow streets and whitewashed buildings with traditional wooden balconies, reflecting the island’s Spanish colonial past. One of the town’s most iconic architectural landmarks is the Church of La Candelaria, a stunning example of Canarian religious architecture, featuring beautiful stained-glass windows and a striking bell tower.
For those interested in history, the Museum of Stone and Craftsmanship is a must-see. It showcases Ingenio’s long history of craftsmanship, including the traditional calado lacework and other artisanal creations that are still made in the area today. The Barranco de Guayadeque, a nearby natural ravine, offers not only breathtaking views but also the opportunity to explore cave dwellings that have been used for centuries by the indigenous people of Gran Canaria.
Other attractions include the Casa del Reloj (House of the Clock), a cultural hub that often hosts art exhibitions and community events, and the town’s numerous parks, such as Parque de Néstor Álamo, where visitors can relax and enjoy the local atmosphere.
