	Second Battle of Acentejo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Second Battle of Acentejo was a battle that took place on December 25, 1495, between the invading Spanish forces and the natives of the island of Tenerife, known as Guanches.
		Whereas in the First Battle of Acentejo the Guanches had been favored by their knowledge of the mountainous terrain, in this second engagement, the native forces found themselves at a disadvantage on the plain of Aguere.
		The Second Battle of Acentejo was certainly not the last battle on Tenerife but certainly the most decisive, resulting in the ultimate incorporation of the island into the kingdom of Castile and the subjugation of the aborigines.
