Excursion to the center of the island Gran Canaria

The second most important city on the island. It is essential to visit the Barrio de San Juan, which constitutes the founding nucleus of the city. Around the primitive Church of San Juan Bautista and the Plaza Mayor, another historical place of great cultural value is the Barrio de San Francisco, where the curious visitor will immediately understand that the neighborhood as a whole is much more than a small conglomerate of narrow streets in the city of Telde.

The second stop will be made at the edge of a volcanic caldera, at about 1,530 meters high, it is a landscape created by a volcanic eruption, one of the great treasures of this nature reserve.

The highest viewpoint in Gran Canaria, from where you can discover this small continent. I know you can see Roque Nublo, one of the most emblematic natural spaces on the island, El Roque Bentayga, the Tejeda caldera, and if the day is good you can see Teide de Tenerife, the largest volcano in Spain.

It is a mountainous area in an environment of great beauty, it stands out for the magnificent views over the island and for a large stone cross "La Cruz de Tejeda" that presides over its 17th century entrance and which marks the geographical center of Gran Canaria.

In this town there is a landscape of palm trees and Canarian pine which is somewhat unusual and worth seeing. A town where several houses preserve their traditional Canarian state, with its spectacular views of the mountains and the valley of a thousand palm trees. You cannot miss a visit to this beautiful Canarian town.

It is one of the most special places in all of Gran Canaria, a unique, extraordinary and particular landscape of the entire Canary archipelago. The entire territory of this area is part of the Gran Canaria World Biosphere Reserve.
