Agüimes was not a major tourist destination, but following careful restoration of the old town, it has become a beautiful example of a traditional Canarian hill town.
The tonally shaded streets of the old town exude timeless atmosphere with bronze street statues and sculptures hidden around corners, ready to be discovered.
The subtle yellows, oranges, peaches and ochre tones of the old town walls create a warm, almost soporific effect.
I love the wall they plaster around the stones, leaving a pleasing asymmetrical effect.
Then a sudden shot of deep red blazes against the blue sky.
