Guayota

= **__GUAYOTA __** =

Guayota was the devil who lived in the Teide, ﻿ Tenerife ﻿ . He was always accompanied by Tibicenas, sinister black dogs, which represent the darkness and the evil.  One day, Guayota kidnapped Magec, the God of Ligthness and the Sun, and took him to the Teide. Then the Guanches asked for Achamán’s help, the main God.  Achamán went to the Teide and defied Guayota. They started to fight, and Guayota caused the Teide to erupt. Achamán won a fierce battle and locked Guayota in the Teide. That’s why every time the Teide erupted people thought that Guayota was trying to escape, and the Guanches made fires to make him turn back.
