The Municipal Town of San Bartolomé de Tirajana is situated at a distance of 54 kilometres from the capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. This municipality is the biggest in Gran Canaria. Its mountainous landscape alternates with deep gullies, which extend towards the beautiful beaches of its coastal region. The municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana combines beach and mountain tourism. The distance from the coast to the highest point of San Bartolomé is 40 kilometres. In the old quarter of the village, known as Tunte, stands the Church of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, consecrated in 1922. This church has a basilica floor-plan structure divided into three naves. Here we must highlight the Main Altarpiece, a work of art dating from 1922 by the master artist Lino Feo Ramos. The central niche of the altarpiece is occupied by the effigy of San Bartolomé (Saint Bartholomew), acquired between 1783 and 1787.
