The impressive
landscape around Tejeda was called "the petrified storm" by Spanish writer
Unamuno. You find here green valleys with cultures of almonds at the foot
of the mighty mountain peaks Roque Nubo and Bentayga.
Arinaga is a romantic fishing-village offering a great panorama.
Mogán: a beautiful valley with cultures of tropical fruits.
Arucas: This well cared-for old town with nice parks is located at an
impressive high coast with picturesque small bays, and some of the
island's most important banana-plantations. Very close to here there is
the volcano Montaña de Arucas.
Teror. The village which "seems to be floating in the air", is located at
a tableland 575 meters above sea level. It is surrounded by breath-taking
mountain ranges.
It is also a well-known place of pilgrimship and has several very nice
houses in colonial style, as the Casa de Doña Teresa de Bolivar . Mogán
Guia is located in the island's north. Here you may visit the lCenobio de
Valerón, a group of caves enclosed by petrified lava.
At Agaete , located at the seaside, you can see an impressive canyon with
plantations of papayas, avocados, coffee and bananas, and the Balneario de
los Berrazales with its thermal springs.
The Beaches
Maspalomas (photo
- right) Maybe the most beautiful among the fantastic beaches of this
island. Fine white sand at a length of 6 kilometers and a width of up to 1
kilometer, and intensely blue sea ... a paradise for sunworshippers, in
particular during the cold European winter!
There are modern hotel-complexes and sports installations, more than
anywhere at Faro de Maspalomas, with the island's most important sports
harbour, Pasitoblanco.
Along the beach there are several oasis with palms and even a fresh-water
lake.
Playa del Inglés Next to Maspalomas, of a length of 2.700 meters. This is
one of the most famous beaches of the archipelago, with modern hotels and
installations of any kind.
San Agustín Less known than the two foregoing, but quieter and more
relaxing. An ideal place to recover from the stress of everyday life.
Playa de Patalavaca Another great beach with fine sand of golden color.
Also ideal for sport-fishing.
Puerto Rico A modern urbanization with hotels, appartments and a nice
harbour. Its great sports installations are one of its main attractions.
Costa de Bañaderos Beautiful landscape with romantical small bays.
Galdar, with
a bizarre high coast.
Sardina del Mar, a picturesque fishing-village with nice beaches.
Playa de las Canteras, a wide beach of sand at 2,6 kilometers length,
located directly in the capital, Las Palmas.
Playa de las Nieves Nieve means snow in Spanish language, and this name
comes from the high mountains directly behind this beach.
