Tell them about the mummy, honey!
Fasnia lies at the foot of the volcanic mountain Montaña de Fasnia, which erupted in 1705.

To show their gratitude for their village being spared, the inhabitants established on the crest of the mountain the chapel of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores.

In 1770 the mummified bodies of several native Guanches were discovered in a cave in the nearby Herques gorge.
