Best Places Gran Canaria

The most beautiful villages in Gran Canaria.

Interior Villages

Teror

Teror is possibly the most beautiful village in all of Gran Canaria, with its paved streets and charming traditional Canarian houses featuring the typical Canarian balcony. The village has a significant history, and its church houses the patron saint of the island, the Virgen del Pino.

Arucas

Arucas is known primarily for its beautiful neo-Gothic church, erroneously called a cathedral at times. It is also the town that produces the most famous rum in Spain, Arehucas. Enjoy a stroll through its centuries-old streets.

Tejeda

The village of Tejeda is classified as one of the most beautiful in Spain. This is due to several reasons, such as its white houses, but especially the surroundings. The village is situated at a high altitude in the mountains, providing a wonderful panoramic view.

Santa Lucía de Tirajana

The village of Santa Lucía is one of the most authentic and well-preserved in the southern part of the island. However, its particular charm lies in the marvelous landscapes surrounding it, including the best palm grove on the island.

Fataga

The village is located in the Fataga Ravine, stretching from the Maspalomas area to the summit of Gran Canaria. Many visitors cross this ravine when heading to Roque Nublo or Tejeda, making a stop in this beautiful village characterized by palm trees and white houses.

San Francisco (Telde)

In the historic center of the city of Telde, we find a neighborhood known as San Francisco, which has had great significance in the history of Gran Canaria. It is recommended to stroll through its paved streets, adorned with mostly white Canarian houses.

Coastal Villages

Agaete

When tourists visit this area, they often head straight to Puerto de las Nieves, where there are beaches, natural pools, and many restaurants offering fresh seafood. However, the village of Agaete is just a 10-minute walk from the coast and holds great charm.
