Our Lady of Mount Carmel church, Parroquia Nuestra Señora del Carmen, in the centre of Los Cristianos on Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Spain, photographed under a clear blue sky. The bright white church has a distinctive clock-faced bell tower, arched entrance frontage and decorative roofline and stands in Plaza Virgen del Carmen close to the heart of the resort. The dedication reflects the traditional association of Our Lady of Mount Carmel with fishermen and sailors, important occupations in the historic fishing settlement of Los Cristianos. The present church replaced an earlier chapel as the town expanded and today remains a prominent religious and architectural landmark. The photograph is suitable for editorial coverage of Tenerife tourism, Catholic churches, Spanish religious architecture, Los Cristianos, Canary Islands heritage, local culture, Christianity, urban landmarks, resort history and traditional coastal communities.
