About this experience
French-speaking friends, come with me to discover the wild North West of Gran Canaria for a whole day.
We will drive along the rugged coastline between Las Palmas and Gáldar to the port of Agaete where the winding road will take us to a small mountainous village. A footpath will take you to the foot of a charming waterfall, an ideal place for a wild picnic.
Reinvigorated we will take the path and the car back to Puerto de la Aldea. We will take advantage of the tranquility of this village at the "end of the world" thanks to a short coffee break and then we will resume the footpaths towards a small wild and remote beach where the most tired will bask on the sand and the others will go one last time. on the rocky paths to contemplate the cliffs that flow into the ocean and take in nature in full force. And we will return home with our heads full of memories and good times to discover Gran Canaria together.
