Dit kun je verwachten

Op deze National Geographic Day Tour ontdek je de meest fotogenieke plekken van het zuiden van Gran Canaria.

Je avontuur begint bij het dorp Temisas, beroemd om zijn olijfolie. Je dwaalt door de smalle stegen langs witte huizen met Arabische tegels. En je slentert over het dorpsplein en maakt foto's van de traditionele architectuur. De volgende stop is het authentieke Canarische stadje Tunte dat bovenop een heuvel ligt. Wanneer je door de sfeervolle straten wandelt, stuit je vanzelf op oude wasplaatsen en de 19e-eeuwse fontein van El Rosal. Ook let je op de details van een tegeloven, de originele geplaveide paden, traditionele huizen en het Casa Canaria de Tunte – een eerbetoon aan de oude Canariërs.

Al snel merk je dat Canarische dorpen worden gekenmerkt door witgekalkte huizen die het felle zonlicht weerkaatsen. Maar de fotograaf geeft je waardevolle tips om zelfs onder deze omstandigheden het overvloedige licht optimaal te benutten en prachtige foto's te maken. Je verkent de dorpen in je eigen tempo en legt de unieke hoekjes die je aanspreken vast op de gevoelige plaat. Aan potentiële onderwerpen geen gebrek in deze fotogenieke en typische Canarische dorpen.

Ook klim je naar het uitkijkpunt El Polvo met zijn opvallende rotsformatie. Je neemt de schoonheid van het dorp in je op en legt veelzijdige beelden vast die een boeiend verhaal vertellen. De laatste stop is het slaperige gehucht Fataga. Je dwaalt door de kronkelige straten en je vergaapt je aan de steile rotswanden bij het dorp.

Ten slotte maak je een spectaculaire rit bergafwaarts met uitzicht op Meloneras en Maspalomas. In de verte zie je de imposante zandduinen, om dan neer te strijken in een lokaal restaurant. Hier bekijk je de foto's en praat je nog wat na over je tour onder het genot van een welverdiende lunch. Dan wordt ook de winnende foto bekend gemaakt.

Attractions & guided tours

Full-day Gran Canaria tour with Teror, Tejeda and typical lunch

Villages, viewpoints and volcanic rocks dot Gran Canaria's jagged spine. This tour weaves its way through some of the island's most dramatic landscapes, stopping along the way to visit gems such as Teror, Tejeda and Fataga. David, one of our local guides, says, ‘The legend of the apparition of the Virgin Mary in Teror still intrigues me. It was in 1481, amid the Castilian conquest of Gran Canaria, and it helped change the island's destiny.'And Teror is where your adventure begins. Strolling past the balconied townhouses of Calle Real de la Plaza towards the mountain-framed basilica of Our Lady of the Pine is one of the defining Gran Canaria experiences. A scenic mountain drive away is Tejeda, which is a bit of a looker itself – red-roofed, whitewashed houses sprinkled on the slope of a valley. David adds, ‘Every time there's a list of Spain's prettiest villages, Tejeda is near the top. Its setting is unbeatable.' There's also a pit stop at Las Tirajanas viewpoint to admire a vast volcanic caldera, as we make our way to Fataga to eat. A lunch made from locally sourced ingredients will be served in a family-owned restaurant. After a little amble through the town, we'll visit a nearby aloe vera plantation to get the lowdown on its medicinal properties. Generations of islanders have used extracts from the plant for skin burns.
