Description
This full-day excursion explores northern Gran Canaria, where moist ravines turn lush green and white villages cling to mountainsides.
You will cross emerald mountains, deep ravines, and dense vegetation unlike the southern scenery. The focus is on landscape and village life rather than traditional coffee routes.
Your first stop is Moya, a quiet village with steep streets, natural viewpoints, and traditional Canarian architecture. Spend time photographing hidden corners and enjoying some of the purest air on the island.
Next, visit Gáldar, the historic northern capital. Walk through Plaza de Santiago and cobbled streets, experiencing traditional Gran Canaria life. Browse local shops and meet welcoming residents.
The tour ends in the Valle de Agaete, including its fishing village with white streets and flowers where mountains meet the ocean. Visit a unique family farm to learn about the region’s prized local crop beyond coffee. The experience includes a tasting of local products and scenic photo opportunities with the sea in the background.
