Blog Oficial de Turismo de Gran Canaria

With an advertising spot that delivers a sensory experience along with beautiful images, the municipality of Santa Lucía presents its new tourism brand and website (turismo.santaluciagc.com), in which senses play a leading role, inviting us to see the wind, to taste the landscape, to feel the sunrise, to listen to the silence of an endless view... ”Come and visit Santa Lucía. Get closer to you” concludes this new advertising spot.

Gran Canaria has been able to bottle its essence. Each of its wines is a reflection of its varied landscape, its extensive varietal heritage, its history and the strong commitment to produce high quality wines that allow us to taste the flavours of the island sip by sip. The Spanish Association of Wine Cities (Acevin), in recognition of the island’s unique winegrowing characteristics, has awarded the first, and so far only, wine route certification in the Canary Islands and outside mainland Spain to the Gran Canaria Wine Route.

The municipality of Agüimes has recently opened a new bathing site to the public in the old jetty located in Arinaga, popularly known as Muelle Viejo. This jetty was built at the end of the 19th century and is considered of great historical and ethnographic value.

The Muelle Viejo is half hidden at the foot of the mountain where the current lighthouse stands, in Punta de Arinaga. To the north, we find the El Cabrón beach, where divers plunge into the sea every day to explore the crystalline ocean, full of fish, starfish, seahorses, and large conch shells once used by the inhabitants of Gran Canaria.
