Detailed itinerary
1
Arucas. It offers an experience of sensations that begins as soon as you arrive at its historic center. The old town of Arucas has the designation of historical-artistic interest. The Parish Church of San Juan Bautista is the architectural piece with the greatest presence and social value in the municipality. Heritage, culture and tradition will be a constant during your visit to this municipality.
2
Located in the northern region of the island of Gran Canaria, the town of Teror is one of the oldest inhabited centers of the seven Canary Islands. Founded after the apparition of the Virgin in 1481 and declared a Marian town at the end of the 16th century, Teror has a vast religious heritage that includes a basilica, convents and houses of noble families. Calle Real de la Plaza has been the social and commercial epicenter of this town for five centuries.
3
The old town of Firgas is worth a walk to appreciate the numerous corners of tourist interest that the municipality has. We visited the Paseo de Gran Canaria and the Paseo de Canarias, which are located in the heart of the town and on what was formerly Calle Real del Centro. The beauty of Firgas lies in visiting “the Balcony of the Atlantic”, for having the most beautiful views over the ocean in the entire north, east and west of Gran Canaria.
4
Puerto de Las Nieves is the coastal area of the municipality of Agaete. Currently, it has become the main maritime connection between Gran Canaria and Tenerife, it is a picturesque and charming fishing village on the northern coast of Gran Canaria. It has a typical Canarian atmosphere and character with surprising cliffs. Impressive small beaches, which, although stony, have cold, crystal-clear waters.
In history, the image of the broken Roque or popularly known as “the Finger of God”.
