🌿 A tour of this part of the island will let you discover some of the oldest traditions before you are swept away by the scent of the ocean! ✨
📍 CENOBIO DE VALERÓN
The Cenobio de Valerón offers a dive into the most ancient past of Gran Canaria. It is an impressive aboriginal granary carved into the rock by the Guanches. This archaeological site, with over 300 interconnected cavities, was used to store grain and other foodstuffs. Today, it is one of the most fascinating testimonies of the island's pre-Hispanic civilisation.

📍 BODEGA LOS BERRANZALES
The Bodega Los Berrazales, located in the beautiful Agaete Valley, inside the historic Finca La Laja, is a true hidden gem of Gran Canaria. This estate, with over 200 years of history, is unique for its combination of wine production, coffee cultivation and tropical agriculture, making it one of the island's most fascinating food and wine destinations.
During the guided tour you will be able to explore the vineyards, the Arabica coffee plantations (one of the very few in Europe) and citrus groves, and taste local products such as wines, cheeses and artisanal jams on the terrace of the Finca. An authentic experience of Canarian agricultural tradition.

📍 AGAETE AND PUERTO DE LAS NIEVES
Agaete and Puerto de las Nieves they offer a perfect mix of sea, mountains and tradition. Agaete is famous for its Agaete Valley, rich in coffee plantations, trails amongst palm trees and volcanic landscapes, whilst the picturesque Puerto de las Nieves it enchants with its crystal-clear waters, fresh seafood restaurants and the historic rock formation Finger of God.
Among the many restaurants, we recommend the Ragù Restaurant, which offers a fusion of Italian and Canarian cuisine, with a particular focus on fresh seafood. The menu ranges from Italian classics like the spaghetti carbonara local specialities like the baked goats' cheese, offering a diverse culinary experience. Customers appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and friendly service, making it an ideal destination for those wishing to enjoy authentic dishes in a picturesque setting.
All that is left to do now is relax at Agaete Natural Pools, known as Las Salinas. They are three volcanic pools, connected to each other by natural tunnels, offering crystal-clear waters and ideal protection from the ocean waves. Perfect for a relaxing swim.
