Joyeria Toky

Santa Cruz de Tenerife


Founded in the 1960s and still with its original dark-wood shop fittings, this corner shop specialises in religious artefacts, jewellery and literature. Statuettes, cherubs, angels and Virgin Mary images crowd the dusty shelves, along with rosaries and silver crosses. There’s a heavy scent of incense in the air and decorative burners are on sale, as well as stout ruby-red candles.
