TEJEDA: The geographical location of our village, right in the centre of our island, is the ideal place if you want to visit Gran Canaria.

Tejeda is part of a larger area which has been recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site and is noted as one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. You will find a small supermarket, a pharmacy, restaurants, bars, an ice cream parlour and shops and even a municipal swimming pool in Tejeda. When visiting the municipality, do not overlook either the Parish Church of Nuestra Señora del Socorro, a temple dating from the year 1921, situated in the village.

An ideal place to appreciate the archaeological sites where we discover the way of life of the Canarian aborigines. Artenara is Gran Canaria’s highest village and sits on a giant natural balcony surrounded by the rugged ridges and valleys of Gran Canaria’s Biosphere Reserve. The surrounding terrain was described by the Spanish writer Unamuno as a “petrified storm”. The local cave houses, inhabited until recently but now converted into rural museum give you the chance to learn about the old way of life. You can even travel further back in time at the archaeological site in Acusa. CRUZ DE TEJEDA: Cruz de Tejeda is the geographical centre of our island. Located at 1580 meters above sea level, where on clear days we can enjoy a magnificent view of mount Teide on Tenerife.
