Transport
Det var en særdeles smuk tur, bjergene og landsbyerne, vi besøgte. Guiden talte et mærkeligt engelsk og tysk sprog, som vi havde svært ved at høre og forstå. Han viste fra sin plads forrest i bussen nogle A4 plancher, som man ikke havde mulighed for at se, hvis man sad i en afstand på over 3-4 meter fra ham. Ikke en eneste gang bevægede han sig ned i bussen, så andre havde mulighed for at se dem. Frokosten var også elendig. Lad folk betale lidt mere, så man kan servere et acceptabelt måltid.
This grand tour of Gran Canaria takes in the best of the island's highlands in just one day. You'll tick off the villages of Tejeda and Teror and enjoy a typical Canarian lunch. There'll be plenty of photo stops along the way, too. Pepe, one of our local guides, says, 'Teror is one of my favourite spots on the island, with history seeping from the walls in the old quarter. The buildings are so charming and in the main square, you'll get to see the typical Canarian balconies the town is famous for.'
It's a blockbuster from the go. Our first stop is at the Degollada de la Yegua viewpoint, which by day boasts views of a Wild West-like canyon and by night of the stars. Then it's on to Tunte, where you might decide to visit the Casa Los Yánez Ethnographic Museum, though it is not open every day. Next, you'll head to Tejeda, considered one of Spain's prettiest villages. All pretty whitewashed houses and palm trees nestled in the shadow of Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga, it's Insta-perfect.
We'll then head to Valleseco for a three-course lunch in a family-owned restaurant. Savour traditional Canarian dishes made from locally sourced ingredients, washed down with local wine, while admiring the views of a gorge below. With a full belly, the afternoon is dedicated to the picture-postcard town of Teror. It's famed for its pastel-coloured colonial homes with carved overhanging balconies.
