Detailed itinerary

First stop at a Mirador from where you will have a spectacular view of Playa Del Ingles, its dunes and its lighthouse.

Stop at Fataga and short walk in the village. This peaceful village perched high in a valley is made up of small, well-preserved white houses and small, narrow, flowery streets. It is surrounded by ravines, pine trees and a lush and unique palm grove.

Route to the village of San Bartolome de Tirajana located at 890 meters above sea level. We will stop in a traditional Canarian house of the 19th century transformed into a Museum. ((Museum closed in August and September). This house preserves the original furniture as well as other valuables belonging to a doctor, former owner of the house. We will visit the rooms, the dining room, the kitchen, the oven and the tool room, his medical practice, as well as two rooms that were adapted to recall the economic activities of the time, which are a weaving room and an oil and vinegar factory. Then we will visit the village church.

Continuation of the road towards the small village of Tejeda which received the award of one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Walk in the village and lunch in a typical restaurant with local tapas (meals not included).

After lunch we will go to Cruz de Tejeda where we will have (if there are not too many clouds) a magnificent view of Tenerife and the “El Teide” Volcano. Cruz de Tejeda marks the geographical center of the island. Stop to take photos and admire the landscape.

We will then take the road towards “the Pico de La Nieves”. To appreciate the essence of a place and soak up its atmosphere, nothing is better than going to the highest point. In Gran Canaria, this is the Pico de las Nieves lookout point, right in the center of the island. At 1,949 meters above sea level, you will have breathtaking views of the Unesco biosphere reserve, with its countless deep valleys and jagged ridges, shrouded in vegetation and crowned with spectacular rocks.

After this climb, we will head towards Santa Lucia de Tirajana. We will stop to take a photo of the Church of Santa Lucía, a historic-artistic building located at the top of the town which stands out for the structure of its facade in beautiful smoothed stones which, associated with the whiteness and shape of its dome makes it unique. It will then be time to return to your hotel to finish this excursion.
