La Oliva.

This hamlet, 15 minutes inland just a 10 minute drive from Villa Bocaina, was once the islands' capital. Although the grand houses are often seen to be crumbling, it is still worth a visit. An attractive church and the Centro de Arte Canariao are well worth a visit. The Spanish clearly take their art very seriously and the exhibition makes for a very relaxing way to escape the early afternoon heat and enjoy the works of art on display.
