Aguere

Aguere is the fertile plain of La Laguna on Tenerife, between several territories of the island’s Guanche inhabitants. Before the Castilian conquest, it was used for seasonal grazing. Alonso Fernández de Lugo’s forces fought the Guanches here during the conquest of Tenerife, which ended in 1496. The town of San Cristóbal de La Laguna was established on the plain soon afterward; its inland site linked the island’s northern and southern slopes.
