This 'Museum of the Carpets' celebrates the town鈥檚 Corpus Christi festival with its carpets created from flowers and coloured sands from El Teide. Set in a beautiful mansion dating from 1642, exhibits explain the history of the tradition, as well as the process. There is also a wonderfully atmospheric and grainy 10-minute black-and-white audiovisual presentation of past festivities.
