Detailed itinerary

Here at La Rekompensa, delve into a comprehensive tour of the Banana Museum. This visit isn’t just about observing; it’s an interactive delight, offering tastings and insights into the cultivation and significance of bananas to the island’s agriculture and culture. The museum not only displays the fruits but tells their story, from flower to harvest.

In the heart of Gáldar, you’ll feel the island’s history envelop you. As the ancient capital, it’s a place where pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago find solace and inspiration at the cathedral—a beacon of faith and heritage. This town is a living chronicle, echoing the traditions that are the soul of Gran Canaria.

El Agujero offers two dining options: “Restaurante La Caldosa,” renowned for its seafood cuisine, and “Bar Tu Mismo,” a small eatery serving sandwiches and bocadillos. The meal is not included.
Alternatively, you can bring your own food and enjoy a meal by the natural rock pools, taking in the stunning ocean views.

Submerge yourself in the contrasting forces of El Agujero, where the dramatic North Sea meets tranquil natural rock pools. Explore the underwater biodiversity of Gran Canaria through a snorkelling trial. After your aquatic adventure, the natural rock pools offer a peaceful retreat by the melodic tide.
If tides or weather conditions do not permit the snorkelling activity, we will instead visit the charming coastal village of Sardina.

The day’s journey culminates at Faro de Sardina. As the sun sets, the silhouettes of the ‘dragon tail’ mountains and Teide stand majestic against the twilight sky, a sight that captures the essence of the island’s dramatic beauty.

What's not included

Meals: You will have free time to eat at “Restaurante La Caldosa” or “Bar Tu Mismo” in El Agujero.
