About Ermita de San Blas

The Hermitage of San Blas was in its day the stay of the first venerated image of the Virgin of Candelaria, which disappeared from this location after a strong storm of sea . This milestone marked the construction of the current Basilica of the Patroness of the Canary Islands. At present, the hermitage has the images of San Blas and a replica of the Virgin of Candelaria that was before the storm.

The roof of the hermitage is dome-shaped and is located on the shore of the sea. Its measurements are 14 meters long by 6 wide and 5 meters high. At present, on the outside it has a masonry work that gives it the shape of a hermitage while the back part is inside live stone.
