What to expect

Embark on a journey to explore some of the most renowned and frequently visited locations in southern Gran Canaria, including Guayadeque, Maspalomas, and Puerto de Mogán. The tour commences with a step back in time to the island's origins at the beautiful natural valley of Guayadeque. Here, you'll discover how the original inhabitants of Gran Canaria lived. The adventure continues to Puerto Rico, where an optional sailing trip to Mogán awaits. This one-way ferry boat ride along the southwest coast offers a delightful experience.

Upon arrival at Puerto de Mogán, often referred to as "Southern Venice" by locals due to its canals and colourful houses, there will be ample time for lunch or relaxation. This charming fishing marina also provides opportunities for shopping or even a swim at the small beach, so come prepared! The final destination is the famous tourist city of Maspalomas. Here, you'll visit a lookout directly over the sand dunes. A guide will provide insights into their formation and share tales of famous travellers who stopped here en route to the New World.

There will be time for photo shooting and relaxation from this vantage point before returning to the city.

Full-day Teror, Tejeda and Fataga tour with typical Canarian lunch

Full-day Teror, Tejeda and Fataga tour with typical Canarian 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."Your first stop is Teror, where you'll stroll past the balconied townhouses of Calle Real de la Plaza towards the mountain-framed Basilica of Our Lady of the Pine. Then it's on to Tejeda, a bit of a looker too, with red-roofed, whitewashed houses sprinkled across a valley slope. David adds, "Every time there's a list of Spain's prettiest villages, Tejeda is near the top. Its setting is unbeatable." From here, you'll continue through the mountains to Las Tirajanas viewpoint for photos of the vast volcanic landscape.Next up is a local lunch in a family-owned restaurant in Fataga, nestled in the Valley of a Thousand Palms. Afterwards, you'll have time to wander this cosy village, known for its cobbled lanes, palm-fringed views and traditional Canarian architecture. Before returning to your hotel, you'll stop at an aloe vera plantation to get the lowdown on the plant's medicinal properties and the role it plays in local life.
