Description

Begin your adventure in Telde, Gran Canaria’s second-largest city and one of its oldest. Wander through the historic San Juan neighborhood, where cobbled streets, colonial-era churches, and colorful façades reflect centuries of history and local life. Next, head to Arucas, famous for its impressive neo-Gothic church, the Church of San Juan Bautista, and its traditional rum distillery. Take a moment to explore the charming town center, admire its architecture, or sample a sip of local flavor. From there, visit Firgas, often called the “Village of Water.” Stroll along the famous Paseo de Gran Canaria, a tiled walkway with cascading fountains and mosaic art depicting the island’s municipalities. It’s a peaceful and photogenic stop full of charm. Continue through the green heart of the island toward Valleseco, a lush area known for its rich vegetation, quiet mountain roads, and scenic valleys. The fresh air and rural atmosphere make it a refreshing pause in your journey. Climb higher into the mountains and enjoy breathtaking views from the Mirador de la Cruz de Tejeda, one of the island’s most iconic lookout points. On a clear day, you’ll see dramatic rock formations, distant ocean views, and even neighboring islands on the horizon. Wrap up your day with a visit to an Aloe Vera Farm where you’ll learn about the cultivation of this healing plant and its importance in Canarian wellness culture. It’s a unique and relaxing way to connect with the island’s natural products. After a day full of scenic beauty, cultural stops, and authentic experiences, your driver/guide will take you back to your accommodation with lasting memories of Gran Canaria’s inland magic.
