Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga, Gran Canaria’s Summit

Gran Canaria, an island full of colour in its mountains, cliffs, and ravines

In Gran Canaria, not only are the seasons adorned with almond blossoms and blue tajinastes; but you’ll also spot the rich purple of sage and the bright whites of the retamas.

It is not only the intensity of the light or the blues of the sky that transform Gran Canaria into an island that can shift our mood and delight our gaze. There is also its vegetation: the green of its pine forests, the flowers we find along the paths and in many homes throughout the year, and, above all, the ancient blooms of species that blanket its slopes and ravines through the changing seasons.

San Gregorio, Telde

San Gregorio, the tale continues

The neighbourhood of San Gregorio de Telde, in Gran Canaria, is an exciting blend of history, architecture, commerce and restaurants.

The sign on a small and inviting shop announcing the sale of both music and fishing gear in one synthesises the ability of the neighbourhood of San Gregorio in Telde, Gran Canaria, to surprise and excite. It is bustling with life, a place where a highly important heritage goes hand in hand with a great shopping area and a range of restaurant establishments, offering visitors an all-enveloping, and possibly unexpected, experience at this location to the southeast of the island.


Valle de Agaete

Centuries of sunshine, coffee and wines

Finca La Laja reflects the generous and diverse landscape of Agaete Valley, in Gran Canaria.

High up, in Tamadaba Crag, the pine forest juts out, and the water oozing from the Stone shines like a mirror or a silver sheet under the sun. About one thousand metres below, at the foot of the ridge, in Finca La Laja, deep in the heart of Agaete Valley (Gran Canaria), Víctor Lugo Jorge, fifth generation of a family whose history intertwines with the roots of centenary trees, offers in his hands the fruits just harvested from the coffee plants that grow under the shade of orange trees and vines, escorted by a tropical garden of mangoes, avocados and guayabos.
