Northern towns and landscapes of Gran Canaria
About this experience
Led by our professional local guides, our bus tour offers a captivating journey through the natural and cultural beauty of northern Gran Canaria. Venture into the wildest and most authentic side of the island, where breathtaking cliffs defy the power of the Atlantic. Northern Gran Canaria awaits with rugged landscapes and towns steeped in history and tradition, nestled in the "Medianías"—the fertile mid-altitude zone of agriculture and livestock that is vital to the island's heritage. You will enjoy a variety of stops, guided visits, and free time at every location.
Arucas. Discover its historic center, officially declared a Site of Historic-Artistic Interest. Wander through its streets and marvel at the majestic Church of San Juan Bautista, an architectural icon of the region. Immerse yourself in its cultural heritage and the essence of its local traditions.
Teror. Known as the "Villa Mariana" (Marian Town) of Gran Canaria, Teror houses centuries of religious and social history. Visit its Basilica, convents, and the iconic Calle Real de la Plaza, which has been a commercial and cultural epicenter for five centuries.
Firgas. Stroll through the old town and be surprised by the Paseo de Canarias and the Paseo de Gran Canaria. From the "Balcony of the Atlantic," you will enjoy the most spectacular ocean views in the north of the island.
Puerto de las Nieves. Explore this charming fishing port in Agaete, which perfectly combines its typical Canarian character with impressive cliffside scenery.
