Women, wise footprints
This project’s message is a global one. In every corner of the world there are stories of women who have built a legacy with their work. A cultural heritage that is scarcely acknowledged and which we have the duty to recognise. Nonetheless, and as a framework for this activity, the project is aimed at anyone who wishes to discover the stories of the women from the island of Tenerife and understand the fundamental role they played in economic, social and cultural development of the island, while understanding the significance of their legacy.
Vilaflor
The location of Vilaflor has given it characteristic features to the landscape and its women.
From Rosa’s hand, we will learn how a unique artisan technique is kept alive.
Belén will sweeten the route with her stories that preserve the most delicious traditions of the island.
The Bethlemite Sisters remind us of the importance of family reconciliation for the economic advancement of the locality.
In short, we will run like water, through the historic center, in a high altitude route, which, in addition to enjoying a unique beauty – pine forest, volcanoes, ect.-, will also reveal information about its people and the way in which the municipality is organized. Because if we do not know their history, we will not be able to talk about our territory.
WITHOUT THEM NEITHER SWEETS NOR ROSETTES

Los Silos
Hands worn from collecting salt, family heritage passed down from mothers to daughters, tomato packers, and workers in the banana and sugar factories… They are an essential driving force in the natural enclave of Los Silos. Through this itinerary and testimonies such as those of Inmaculada, a Silos salt worker, you will learn why it’s impossible to talk about Los Silos without mentioning these women. Through this route and testimonies such as those of Inmaculada, Salinera Silense, we will know why talking about Los Silos is impossible if we do not talk about them.
