The locals began carving Canarian pine into balconies in the 16th and 17th centuries. If you were to think of something to dominate the architecture of the "older" parts of the island -- it is the balconies. They are everywhere, and are beautiful. They have become a show piece of every building. 
Look closely. Jason's in there!
One more beauty shot. It really is an incredible demonstration of carving and workmanship!
