Teror is a municipality in the northern part of the island of Gran Canaria in the Province of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands. Its population is 12,671 (2013),[https://archive.today/20140422192050/http://www2.gobiernodecanarias.org/istac/estadisticas/E30260A_1/php/pob_001.php?anyo=2013&territorio=35027 Instituto Canario de Estadística], population and the town area is 25.70 km². Teror is situated in the mountains and borders Las Palmas to the west and is part of its urban area. September 8 is the local festivity celebrating Virgen del Pino (virgin of the pine, patron of the Gran Canaria).[https://www.corazones.org/maria/pino_nra_senora.htm Nuestra Señora del Pino] (in Spanish) Website of the Servants of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary

Teror has a well preserved old town centre, which is under monument protection. There is a basilica, the quiet Virgin of the Pine Square in front of it, and neatly fronted buildings along the picturesque Calle Real de la Plaza street. After shepherds witnessed a Marian apparition nearby on 8 September 1481, Teror became the most important pilgrimage destination of Gran Canaria, and, as a result, rather prosperous. White houses with wooden balconies, where many of the island’s older families congregated, are typical of the town.

Mineral water is an important product of Teror. There's a weekly market (mercadillo) on Sundays.
