Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, Hermitage church in San Sebastián de La Gomera, Spain.
The Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe is a small chapel in the Puntallana district with a T-shaped layout featuring a main nave and three quadrilateral side chapels. The interior accommodates roughly 40 worshippers and has a simple, intimate design suited for prayer and reflection.
The chapel was founded in 1542 and stands as one of the oldest religious buildings in this region. During the 19th century it underwent major expansion that gave it the form we see today.
The wooden statue of the Virgin of Guadalupe, known locally as La Morenita de Puntallana, holds deep spiritual meaning for the community. This figure shapes the religious identity and devotion of people who gather here to pray.
The chapel is easily accessible in the Puntallana neighborhood and serves the local community regularly. Visitors are welcome to enter outside of service times to view the interior and the sacred statue.
On clear days, the location offers views toward Mount Teide on neighboring Tenerife, creating a visual connection between two islands. This geographic advantage makes the spot memorable for visitors seeking both spiritual and natural perspectives.
