Candelaria is not a well-known maritime port for commercial shipping in Spain. It is, however, primarily known as a town on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, off the northwestern coast of Africa. The Canary Islands are an autonomous community of Spain.

While Candelaria has its historical and cultural significance, as the site of the Basilica of Candelaria (a major religious site), it is not recognized as one of the primary commercial maritime ports.
