CRUZ DE TEJEDA

This intricate stone cross, situated in the village of Tejeda, and set in a rather scruffy square full of stalls with rather persistent owners marks the notional centre of the island. The adjacent parador, which has seen better days, was built as a hotel in 1938 to a traditional design by Nestor de la Torre a white house with exposed stone and green woodwork. There are beautiful views of the surrounding countryside from the side of the parador.
