Teror is a municipality in the northern part of the island of Gran Canaria in the Province of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands. Its population is 12,671 (2013),[3] and the town area is 25.70 km2.[1] Teror is situated in the mountains and borders Las Palmas to the west and is part of its urban area. September 8 is the local festivity celebrating Virgen del Pino (virgin of the pine, patron of the Gran Canaria).[4]
Teror has a well preserved old town centre, which is under monument protection. There is a basilica, the quiet Virgin of the Pine Square in front of it, and neatly fronted buildings along the picturesque Calle Real de la Plaza street. After shepherds witnessed a Marian apparition nearby on 8 September 1481, Teror became the most important pilgrimage destination of Gran Canaria, and, as a result, rather prosperous. White houses with wooden balconies, where many of the island’s older families congregated, are typical of the town.
Mineral water is an important product of Teror. There's a weekly market (mercadillo) on Sundays.
