If you want to discover the most authentic essence of Gran Canaria, this excursion will take you through its most emblematic landscapes, its charming villages, and its corners full of history. A tour designed so that you don't have to worry about anything other than enjoying yourself.
We begin the route with a first stop at the Degollada de las Yeguas vantage point. From this point, you'll enjoy excellent panoramic views of Playa del Inglés, the Maspalomas Dunes, and the Barranco de Fataga. An ideal place to start the day with the best photographs.
Next, we visit an aloe vera plantation, where you'll learn the secrets of this medicinal plant renowned for its powerful healing properties. You'll learn about its cultivation, its benefits, and why Gran Canaria is a privileged place for its growth.
We continue our tour through the picturesque villages of Fataga and San Bartolomé de Tirajana. Their whitewashed streets, traditional architecture, and tranquil atmosphere will give you the most authentic feel of the island's interior.
Before reaching Cruz de Tejeda, we'll make a stop where you can admire the imposing Roque Nublo, the natural icon of Gran Canaria. This 80-meter-high stone mass was considered a sacred place by the ancient Canarians, and from this vantage point you can admire it in all its glory.
To recharge our batteries, we head to Valleseco, where you'll enjoy a lunch included in the price of the excursion. A traditional Canarian dish in a peaceful setting, with no additional costs or surprises.
After lunch, we'll head to Teror, the true spiritual heart of Gran Canaria. There, you'll have free time to explore the surroundings of the Basílica del Pino, one of the most revered places on the island. Its Neoclassical façade and interior house the image of the Virgin of the Pine, patron saint of Gran Canaria.
The last stop of the day will be in Arucas, where you can admire its historical and artistic heritage, with special attention to the majestic Church of San Juan Bautista, popularly known as the Cathedral of the North, built entirely from blue stone from the local quarry.
